Freaking awesome. Love the sound source and the destruction/development of it. And oh the glitchyness. Well done.

Thanks heaps!  And the extra cool thing about this is that no software was used in the creation even though it sounds like it.  I've been spending a lot of time on developing a live set I have in June.  The goal is no laptop/computer.  I reckon I'm virtually there.  I've just got to clock up a few more hours/weeks on the Octatrack

So it's a sampler with built-in transformation capabilities? Like you were performing the whole piece live. WOW. Really excellent.

Damn, that is crazy cool.

Thanks Jim!  And yep, all performed live in one take using the live sax feed.  It's essentially an 8 track sampler with 2 fx per track plus 4 lfos per track plus various playback trigger options for each track.  I use track 8 as a master track so I can also treat/manipulate the entire mix at once.  It's actually a really powerful sampler if you dedicate the time to learn it.  Man, I've had some testing times with it but once you master the key elements, you can really dive in deep!

Thanks comrade!  Some of these concepts will be used live in June so you'll have to check it out performed live.  It's all fully improvised so it will not sound like this whether I wanted it to or not!  haha.

An intense and excellent track, and a very interesting reworking of the original sax track.

I don't normally listen to saxophone but when I do I make sure its unrecognizable. Awesome track!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!  Appreciated.  Have my first rehearsal tonight using this setup (plus guitars) so hopefully can get some cool shit happening.

Thanks?  hehe

I absolutely love how digital it sounds in parts, then we almost recognize the sax, and with that lush reverb... Great experiment!

You're welcome! Harsh in a very good way of course.

Yeah! So glitchy, I'm almost wondering now if the Octatrack can do glitch free cuts! In any case, the result is very organic music, filled first by the saxophonist, second by the live electronics performer: it augures a nice gig in June...

All sounds are saxophone only.  No electronics.  And yes, the Octatrack can do non glitch also.  I did do a guitar only track with it also but the levels were a bit hot unfortunately but that was quite ambient and smooth.  There's envelopes for the amplitudes of each track so you can set a slow attack time to remove the glitch.  Obviously didn't in this one

Crazy sound manipulation and absolutely stunning that it's no software. Really fvcking cool IMO.

Awesome.  Thanks man!  It' a great bit of kit for sample manipulation.

wow, outstanding work on the octatrack! Haven't heard anything else like this before done on this machine. I'm sure the live set will be awesome intriguing stuff!

Cheers!  Appreciated.  The Octatrack is like an instrument in it's own right.  You really have to put a lot of time into it to get the most out of it.  Not just some banging techno set like it's used for a lot of the time.
