Chum(p)s.

Nice. Mine started as phasing using an accidentally recorded sample of a mouse click, but is now some weird approximation of Karplus-Strong synthesis that actually sounds more like FM. Kinda sounds like a malfunctioning Sega Genesis or something. Managed to cut it down to an hour, in four 'movements'. I think I might have to just upload an excerpt and put a whole 'album' on bandcamp.

Wow. Sounds interesting. Could you even make an mp3 that long small enough to upload on WB? lol
I'll definitely be up for a d/l if yr putting it on bandcamp. Mines coming in at a little over 4 mins but it feels really short. There's not enough time (and space) for the parts to breathe properly (if you know what I mean). Well a few days left so fingers crossed.

Kind of what I was thinking of doing. But with little bursts of static to represent Cosmic Background Radio Waves. Knowing me though I'll start with that but end up swamping it with distortion and amp simulators and putting a beat behind it.

.. and damnit. No matter what I do, I can't seem to be able to cut it down from its current length of three hours and eight minutes.

Space?

I'm gonna do minimalism (maybe space minimalism if that's the decided theme)

on that note, how minimal can I go before it is considered a 'joke' or 'throwaway' track?

I believe someone made a track of 5 minutes worth of, what I believe to be, silence on the first week; you can't probably get any worse than that.
