love the surprising effects you deliver here. sorrry for your bad week. hope it gets better.

I had a bad week, too. It’s been an interesting weirdly cathartic experience seeing a whole lot of folks here in WB being quite miraculously synchronized: there’s an overwhelming amount of “hardest week yet” — and as much as I hope everyone’s feeling that about just music I suspect it’s deeper than that.

Another interesting trend is musical: a lot of pieces with disintegrating / collapsing / self-exhausting type structures. Yours has an arp, and that makes it remarkable since the salience of the arp and it’s latter half quarter speed grumble simultaneously illuminates the slow-down and smoothed the contrast—connects it with opening materials. It’s a really cool decision, I think, and I’m thinking about various other ways a very salient movement can be messed with in ways that illuminate a particular kind of processing.

It’s also kinda punk rock: sure-footed in what it does and comes across convincing AF, like it couldn’t happen differently. That’s pretty dope. smile

I noticed that trend in this week's tracks as well; there were a lot of different approaches to it as well which was really cool to hear (and get ideas from)

i'm glad the ending sounded natural to you; i loved the sounds that the effects i used created, but i was worried that it felt a little shoe-horned. thanks for listening !!
