Very remiss of me not to mention this in the description: percussion samples on this track are courtesy of godinpants and his one hand clapping.

interesting track

WHERE'S THE OTHER HAND?!

Certainly some interesting use of instrumentation on this one.

New life in the clap sample.
What did you use to sequence/make use of all those single waveforms?

That lead/glitchy instrumenty thing is really cool. Lo-fi ending is rad.

This one kept my brain occupied the whole way.

Thanks folks!

godinpants - It's all done in pure data. Psuedorandom sequencer bangs lookup tables of pentatonic scales to set the pitch of a handful of additive and FM synths made up from the Adventure Kid waveforms. The final track is a live take, manually fading the different voices.

roboctopus - the lo-fi ending was done with a cheap cassette recorder. At one point I thought I'd record the whole track this way, but it lost the sparkle. I think it works well as an outro, though.

A tasty submission Mr Bruce. I particularly like the seemingly random rhythms. Although this track didn't make me nauseous, what's with that? Please try harder next time. wink
