Cool collab between human and machine and super cool B part! the first part sounds a bit random .... well duh! but the B part fits and kinda makes the first part work. And hey there is even almost a drum solo
is the midi stuff quantized by the m8? can it be not-quantized? for this track it works as it is but I'm just curious.

solos are amazing in this track!  well done

the intro made me ancipate a classic intelligent dnb track – then soon it went off into Unexpected territory. well played solo

It was quantized by a grid of 64th notes (iirc), so pretty close to unquantized territory. Since it was recorded into m8 as it was performed, there will always be a limit of the grid itself, and it was already unwieldy dealing with such a fine grid. Haha
The chords are "random" in a way, but are chosen based on modal mixture, so not just completely arbitrary, or "non-functional". It's a fun challenge to try to make them feel like they fit more than they might without "assistance".

Thanks! Helps that I'm really bad at genres...

The voice-leading over the progression is ace. It always blows my mind when a chip tune sound w/ an appropriate context can sound swanky / cheeky / sultry... lovely work!

Thanks! This was a very new mixture of things for me, so I'm really glad it turned out even half decently. Haha

No promises, but with such encouragement from you I'd sure like to oblige!

woah, this is a really wild combination of ideas and sounds! I wish I knew what all the acronyms meant...I assume they refer to M8 specific features?

haha yes, sorry, nerd talk here. Each are "effects commands" to control different things. RAN for random choice of whatever parameter was before it. SCG for which scale to use globally, TBL for which table for that instrument to use, SED for which seed (limiting the random choices to something that repeats consistently), KIL for killing notes (as they automatically play continuously). Any other questions feel free to ask.
