Another Week, Another Beat

So this was my second weekly beat made on stream on twitch, which has been fun. This is also sort of another foray into generative, though barely. I was talking with damifortune about how you can make generative stuff using m8, and it inspired me to utilize a bit of it, but what ended up happening was me pulling up the chord "scales" from an earlier track, and running some seeded RANs until I found a progression I liked, then manually built a melody on top, then repeated that strategy for the B section. I decided to make all the sounds "from scratch" this time, so no samples, and I also used twin peaks noise for the melody in the A, resulting in a pretty metroid prime vibe. haha

OH MY GOD THAT SOUND AT 00:19.  The A/B melodies are both really cool and unorthodox. cool

Bookmarking the twitch stream for later; I need to see how you were able to harness the twin peaks noise melodically!
