5/4, 212 bpm, super crunched out sounds. you know the drill. Yeah, yeah kinda late to the party but whatevs.
First time making something not in 4/4 and it my head hurt.
Mostly samples, featuring some from distropolis' prismatic spray (as crunchy as it gets) and some mangled live with a shiny new NTS-3.
Made on M8.

Damn this is wiiiiiiiild. Love how glitchy this is. This sounds like it would be the hardest DDR song ever made.

Haha, thank you! omg I was always so bad at DDR. I think I'd be a little bit better now but I still have terribly rhythm. Funny enough this is maybe my first WB with direct audio "live playing" in the form of finger tapping on the NTS-3 for sample mangling.   

woah - this broke my brain (in a good way). i didn't catch it was 5/4 at first, just felt myself nodding in a way that... didn't quite make sense! but did at the same time?
nice one, i'm into the CRUNCH

Yais love the 5/4 timing.  It's like the rhythm of Radiohead's 15 step but spicyyyy. Love the sound of those resonant crunchy kick bits..  Oooh the glitchiness and the fast tippy toe rhythm.. I can't even! yikes yikes  Dang this was finger tapped in?  Awesome sounds, well done!

This is my kinda shit right here! The good shit

Very nicely curated chaos! Wild ride. smile

Funny, I watched some videos to learn about examples of 5/4 and there's several songs out there which I'd never thought sounded different in any way. Guess I learned something! That said, 212 bpm is probably even less common, but doesn't sound that frenetic in 5/4 vs 4/4.

Yeah! 15 step is 5/4 and I like that song but had NO idea it was until I did a bit of research about 5/4. I didn't tap in the whole beats though (my timing is terrible..) just the FX and modulation but even if they're supposed to be random and glitchy it take me more than a few takes, heh. Thank you!
