Very cool track, you got lots of good sounds from that bowl! Well done.
(I think I must dig out my own singing bowl to see if I can do a singing bowl track myself one of these weeks)

Man your processes are awesome but always yield such practical/interesting results. Though I don't know how much you experiment etc.

Definitely do it. The bowl is apparently to help you get to sleep. It was a gift from my mum last year since I've had trouble getting to sleep ever since I was a kid. Though, it seems like it has achieved the opposite of its intended effect by keeping me up at the most unholy of hours playing it, preparing it and processing it. There's a wealth of fun to be had with one. It's probably about time I put it away.

Experimentation has always been key to the way I work, even if indirectly. Even if I'm doing something with a pretty predictable result, it has come from years of getting to know my tools and learning all the interesting way they react or even malfunction, which I especially like. That reminds me, I really need to finish that last movement of your piece so I can see how it will make you malfunction.

This sounds awesome, and it's a way of working in Live that's rather different from the way I've done things--inspiring!  Great track with a lot of twists and surprises. Totally great.

Thanks! That's the wonderful thing about Live. Even within its constraints, it lends itself to bending its rules quite a lot. Its workflow is structured enough that you don't have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to create something, but open enough that you can devise your own way of doing things, even on a track-by-track basis.

Though, full disclosure, it's not all Live. I did the final arrangement and mix in Pro Tools. Live in this case was just generating the main materials and providing a basic skeleton for the form, which is often something I do to separate the tinkering and composition processes. Also, I tend prefer the editing features of Pro Tools for audio, even though I've been using Live for way longer.
