The re-emergence of my yoctonaut project.  I composed and performed it in BleepBox on iOS in various bits of spare time during the week, and I recorded it into Ableton Live, where I applied a bit of editing.  Brief, but perhaps to the point.  (Maybe the ending's a bit too sudden.  It was a busy week. The full title is "Tiny Birthday to You," since it's my birthday.)

Thanks!  If you have an iOS device, I totally recommend Bleep!BOX.  10-voice synth--no samples, so you're going to have to tweak everything to your liking.  You can do an envelope-following pitch change, for extra attack on the front of a percussion hit.  Lots of stuff is semi-automatable.  Great little app.

Happy birthday!  Love the little glitches on this one!  Nice compostion on the Bleep!Box.  Fun little track!

Yeah, pretty cool beats and pulses.  Dig the noise snare.  I'll check out the app at some stage.  Cheers!

Nice work with BleepBox! Crispy stuff. Hope you had a nice birthday!!!

An app definitely worth spending some time on...good stuff!

Thanks, everyone!  Yep, good birthday last weekend.  And this week's very different track is uploaded and ready to go.

Hey this is really good, again loving the guitar work - is that an ebow getting that sweet sustain?

Thanks!  On this track ("tbty") it's all the bleep!BOX synth on iOS.  But on the "Triangles" it's Moog Guitar, which has a bunch of sustaining hardware.  It's going through the Big Muff in places, too, for extra Frippiness.
