How did you make this, it's crazy.

Thanks for listening. I wrote a 3-part drum pattern, then i wrote a (vertically) 3-voice chord/tonecluster sequence in unison with the drum pattern. Then I assigned the MIDI data of the chords to a snare, a cymbal, and a stick (?) sample respective to the drum pattern. Then I retransposed each drum by semitones to taste, then ran the whole thing thru some granular feedback to blur the 12TET of it all.
The second third is the first third on top of a wet reverb of all three drum-parts played on the cymbal, to create a mild tonal shadow effect. I think I'd made a note to mess with the formant somewhere in the chain for added "harmony" but might have forgotten to do so.
The last third of the track started off as a monophonic melodic echo of the patterns in the drum audio and then I just let the melody take over to resolve itself.
