Good that I managed to finish something, but due to other projects this might be my lowest time spent on a track so far.

The good thing is that I reminded myself of IDM/early breakcore stuff (which inspired me with this week) that I might explore more in upcoming weeks

Also I'm really happy how smooth 13/8 ended up sounding

When I read "IDM/breakcore", I expected something else. I got hypnotic pumping ambient instead, and it works! Agree with you, lean into that shit and develop it into a full track.

This sounds cool.  I dig the contrast of the sweeter synth line with the staticky sound.

Thanks! I tried leaning more into IDM for the next week and decided to pivot away for now. I need to skill up a bit more with those glitchy beats. Thanks!
This is the one I see the most "low hanging fruit" fixes, so it looks like a good candidate for work and develop later.

Thanks! I think this is one of the "stock" (quotes, because free to download packs) drums from Ableton, got really nice glitchy sounds.
