All sounds derived (directly or indirectly) from Vince Giles' WB 32 post. Processed with M4L Granulator and resonator(s); some tracks further tuned in Melodyne to G Major Pentatonic. Bass track generated using Melodyne's Audio-to-MIDI feature; percussion via Slice-to-MIDI. Major credit is due to the superior sonic qualities of Australian hail.

oly shizz, this is deep. Broding and ready for carnage. Really enjoyed the hail percs and its contrast to the rest of the mix. And the slight slow down worked wonders for me
Very nicely done Jim. ALL the material comes from my piece? Wow. I can't even fathom it. Why the G Maj Pent though?
deep and rough shit! The composition with the pounding bassdrum kicks ass.
sounds cool, diggin this collab

I didn't want to totally wear down the listeners :-)
Nice!

I wanted a tonal bass line, so I ran the hail recording through 2 sequential resonators before I brought it into Melodyne. The resonators were responsible for bringing it close to G maj; I made it pentatonic because I though there was already enough polynontonality going on.

Thank you all for listening!
I like the idea of all the sounds coming from another piece and combining into something completely new. The clicking and clacking gives it a little bit of an industrial feel. I, too, liked the slowdown. Great work as usual.
P.S. Thanks for the heads up about my track not playing. It should be fixed now.
Aw yeah! This sounds huge! Great work

Thank you muchly! Considering the original source, it should be "Hail, Hail."
Excellent. Digging that second half. Sounds fat! I didn't really notice any obvious major pentatonic tonality. Fine with me though 
Just listening, enjoying, and nodding my head as if I know what anyone is saying with all the technical mumbo jumbo
This is urgent and Heavy, Jim. Yes!
With hail on a metal roof as a source, it had to be...

It's only the bass line (and a somewhat arbitrary choice).
Holy Glob! nice percussions!
Thanks! Now I have a new exclamation.

Don't need the mumbo jumbo to enjoy stuff. Thanks!
Awesome use of the hail source--are you sure that storm cloud didn't have a Warp Records logo on it? Great stuff.

I'll have to check with Vince :-)
This sounds big and fat! am I the only one who gets "moviesoundtrack"-vibes out of this?
this would be perfect for some robot/endoftheworld/matrix film.

Since you mentioned, it does have a slight Terminator feel to it :-)
Great track, and a very cool take on the original material. The melodic elements really works well.
Really cool track, both in terms of hitting the right atmosphere and some unexpected twists. Niiice.
