Groovy synth on choppy breaks.
4-21-2024

oh fuck yeah hahahahaha, sounds like some re amping going on, badass! or a lot of stereo action and reverb. i like how it bounces back and forth. this track is amazing! samples are obscured in such a way that it brings even more intrigue to the track. i love it breaks down at 2:40 and morphs.

friggin GOOD。

Thanks! Definitely some beat fuckery going on, I played out that beat and recorded it with some weird video stuff playing on an SM57.  I took the mic track and drastically dynamically split it and went in and deleted 100+ more little pieces randomly and panned hard left.  I took the beat track and did the exact thing except panned hard right. I also cut each drum track into 3 parts and applied various spatial fx and reverb and delay and some filters.  I used completely different fx for the left and right tracks.  Then I just added a synth part...was going to do more but the results are good enough to put the positive results of beat manipulation in my pocket for later.

Hahahahaha awesome! I'm glad to hear the process behind it! I dig it

Dope beats here. Seems like those breaks could be good sampling material degrading back to just 12 bit mono wink

I enjoyed the ride/hihat interplay and the overall crazyness of the track. Good work!

When I read the "techno" and "industrial" tags, I expected something else, so the track was a surprise! big_smile

Definitely a good study of synth bass sequencing. For the entire track, I was waiting for some more layers to join, as what you have is a great backdrop for more stuff to enter. Strings, brass, guitars, a rapper, yeah.

Nitpick: the drums are swinging in a way that your synth sequence isn't. Getting them in sync would make the groove stronger.

I effortlessy make music that is satisfyingly genre-obscure and not always easy to "tag".  Your first sentiment is acknowledged and sincerely valued.
I worked on the track's beat for a noteworthy amount of time and proceeded to not further development anything for days and then it was Sunday afternoon...I swiftly added the bass synth to meet the loose definition of a song and fired it off to WB. 
My subconscious may compel me to flesh this track out into a full-grown song like you were waiting for, but I don't have much influence there, time will tell.
Your "nitpick" is constructive and useful, as I mentioned the synth was hastily added, at the time I thought it sounded "good enough", thanks for keeping me in check.   
Your WB tracks are especially well written and produced, I am flattered that you found something I have done worthy of comment. Cheers!
