NOT YOUR DEVIL

More bonkers, and I was about to say more "bonkers low end" to paraphrase JWH, but to be honest I didn't even do much of a check on the low end ... it's mixed ... it's bonkers.
This is more sorta-electronica exploration, with a little more lean into NIN and ... something else. NIN era would be firmly Year Zero, I think. All I'm missing is a Sherman Filter Bank.
Started with the Pulsar-23 recording a solo-performance - the patch this week was complicated and messy but allowed me to extract the Delay/Reverb from the pulsar as a stereo pair and fuck with that quite a bit with performative-knob-fuckery, which I will admit - way too goddamn fun. I am hoping you can hear the fun.
Recorded a 9 minute performance take, dragged the recordings into the DAW, sliced, diced, mixed and messed around, then introduced the other elements - some heavy industrial percussion, synths, FX, general bonkers fucking around.
What the fuck is this genre? I don't know.
Effectively ran out of time for some bigger plans - the ending is questionable in terms of being dj-friendly, originally there was something of a 'third drop', and vocals are something I wanted to work into this one in terms of both lyrics and foley, but that will come with a future project. I think I will keep working on this for a couple weeks though, get some vocals in there, because I think this could definitely become a touchstone track for a whole EP or album.
This was a very fun and challenging learning-experience working with a track that is very percussion first-and-forward. Adding elements was very much an equal exercise in "taking away" - and I probably didn't take away enough, admittedly. Either way, fun was had, beats were made, and I apologize to your lovely ears.
