Started writing this track with the idea that it'd be semi-generative and moody. The first half is that but it definitely took a turn for the second half.
I like it but I wish I could stick to a single idea sometimes.
Written on the M8 Tracker again. Uses random aspects for the Piano, some of the drums, and the slices of the break.

I should follow your lead and use these to work through more M8 random stuff, I played with that for a little bit when I got it and haven't really messed with it again. Cool stuff.
The low piano keys are sounding great: are the chords done w/ one-note-per-track or is that MIDI-out controlling something else?

All the piano is one note per track. Someone on the discord was kind enough to share a slicable piano instrument and I used that for everything but bass and drums in this track.
I def feel the randomness a bit but it does give a vibe of a weird biblically-accurate angel. I imagine it with creepy eyes and tentacles everywhere and it's chasing you. in the second half you actually get away from it.
This song makes me think about how to use the random approach for exploring melodies and sounds, and then at some point when you get something good you go and compose intentional melodies. Cause it's great if random can come up with good melodies but it's still nice to give it the human touch in the end.
Nice work!
