Incredibly unsettling due to the tempo, but not necessarily bad. Just like a bit creepy, encroaching, maddening. Think it worked well for you though, you found a good spot for you elements regarding timbre. High (not too high on my end) and low heavy which I think really suits the tempo-fuckery.

Also, really interesting approach to tempo-automation. I think you would have gotten a way rougher result with more standard automation.

Definitely not shit, but rather experimental!

I liked this! Great sound choice and mood I haven't felt the tempo changes at all actually ahah it gives the track some great movement without being distracting!

Assuming your sequence is just 16th beats, the automated tempo modulation does introduce swing for sure, and I reckon it mostly works! Sometimes there's a lurch that feels just off in a way I don't want to hear, but only occasionally.

I've tried this stuff multiple times, mostly with tracks that don't have drums, so it's more like say if someone's playing piano by feel. Doing it with drums is bold!

This is so f'n good! I think the tempo modulation is great - I was rocking my head to it the whole way through. There's a real lurching forward vibe, but in a good way like you get a sense of the rhythm and all of a sudden it starts shifting away from you. Like yea it's continuously modulated but the modulation is steady and comforting. This is super inspiring. I was thinking a lot about exponential rhythms for my track this week and it's super cool to see someone else mess around with tempo modulation

Also great work on pushing yourself and letting go of constraints! If not here and now, then when?

Honestly I’m vibing with the tempo shifts

Also I love the chopped reverb!

You described it well. Maddening experimental tempo-fuckery. "Definitely not shit" is what I strive to be!

I'm glad, and surprised, that you liked it!

Yeah, that "lurch" is a bit too strong at times. Without it would work a lot better. I've also seen & toyed around a little with is before on piano tracks and there it can work really well. I'll for sure implement it in my next piano-focused track.

Thanks a lot! You're right about the modulation being cyclic, which wasn't what I wanted initially but what I ended up with. I checked out your track as well, great stuff!

This goes to show that taste is wildly different. Glad you enjoyed it!

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is sick!

The off-kilter rhythm was mesmerising and very groovy. It has that uncanny goodness of some of those burial tracks.
A fun experiment and I would say it's definitely paid off!!
Enjoyed this a lot!
