B Series Funk

After last week's struggling, I decided to go with the flow, stick to what I was doing instead of flushing it all and starting over everyday, and see where it gets me. So Monday I started with guitar loops taken from a sample bank as a basis. From there I found a good drum break and sliced it and reorganized it, added a bass synth, some simulated Wurlitzer, electronic beats, improvised with granular synthesis, etc. By the middle of the week I had all these composition segments that were working on their own but not that much with each other. The challenge was then to try to make them work together... I had to change some parts and repeat some others. The result is a bit weird, with the track shifting in unexpected directions in some parts, being groovy and kind of sad and robotic at the same time in others. I think it turned out ok though!? I learned and had fun doing it, so it filled my top priorities at least!
