All We Made >> Made New Again

Recorded this with my Creatures Once partner and long time collaborator (we're talking junior high drum line and mix tapes long) Monstrosus, who is now on Weekly Beats - check out his songs!
This was the first jam of our afternoon some weekend ago. I put down some chords and drums and percussions, he improvised some lead-ish keys, flutes, bass, synths and other sounds from the belly of his iPad over that, and it was the tastiest of treats for the earholes.
To make this version I first chopped it down from long length to short, trying to keep the tastiest of bits. Then I scrapped my old fingered drums, and played live drums. Added a simple bassline or two by converting his leads to midi, dropping down an octave or two and removing some notes, some randomization here and thre.
Then some little sugar, effects, mixing and and whatnot.
For the voice, I used sample rack from the Ableton live pack Voice Box, which was free from Ableton website at some point.
Title - I don't know. Around and around. Jammming, recording lots of sounds, then editing and producing. I noticed the different mindsets of those two parts - improving and recording, then producing it into something. Two halves of the brain apple or something. The lovely fun cycle of musical life, and tasty treats for earholes.
