swimming upstream

I had a disappointing week, both in terms of music and other aspects of life, hence the title. The muse was not giving it up today but I just wanted to get it over with today (Saturday) and have a fresh start to the new week in the morning.
As usual, starts out boring and gets kind of weird. This one is mostly Monomachine, but unlike the last two I brought in a couple friends. I started the sketch in the Octatrack, where it began as a sort of industrial dance thing. I tried some things out and thought I might just do a bunch of jams and assemble them in Reaper but it started to feel really tedious and wrong, nothing really felt or sounded right. One of those had some nice textures so I kept it for the ambient end section (when in doubt, drench everything in reverb). Anyway, I did end up doing a ~7 minute Monomachine jam and trimming it down, sloppily I might add.
I plan to work harder to make my own luck for next week. Thanks for reading and listening.
