ooh, very thick sound, sound design on the snare and other percussive elements is super engaging imo!

Hey, really glad you noticed that snare! It's made of actually two distictive sounds: one low "glup" sound, like a water drop, and some glitchy sort of wood/metal short hit, passed through a slight resonant filter. I wanted it to have some punch while not sounding like a common snare

The main glitches are made from a quite dull and "middle of the road" hip hop beat I programmed on Reason 4 basically in my early days with the tool, circa 2005. Since it was plain boring, I started pitching it and slicing it in Ableton without much thought, often with extreme adjustments. It has some autopanning on it and some sidechain compression linked to the big bass drum, like a bassline.

Thanks again for listening and commenting! Now some cool drumming ...

Heheh, wish my dogs would assist with percussion

This is really good minimal glitchy hip hoppy. I particulary like the sense of space.

Love this. Some really amazing tones on the drums

Really into the dark / silent hill sounding parts and the effected drums!

Thanks a lot, Jim. I'm glad you enjoyed such a sparse beat. I restrain myself of abusing the delay, as usual

Thanks, Grillo. It means a lot since your music it's being a true inspiration. Grazie molto!

Whoah... never had guessed the Silent Hill reference, though it's guite flattering, as a fan of such a both visually and sonically innovative saga. Thanks Scott!!!

I've posted a Soundcloud update, retouching some of the slements of the song and correcting some mistakes here and there, in case you'd want to give it another listen

I know you said sparse, but I love the beat the way it is.  It has it's own elements with the filter that give it life.  It would make a cool segway track or I can even hear a Com Truise-esque 80s arp following that synth.  me rikey

Whoah I'm not familiar with Segway, but I do know and love Com Truise. Flattering comparison! (I'll check Segway soon).

Thank you, Coautor! I'd love to catch up with your stuff too. Too much work!

Hahaha You're also lovely, no doubt Thanks for listening!

oops sorry for the confusion i meant segway as in like an interlude or in-between track   Tho segway sounds like it might be a cool electronic band actually lol
