this was all based around the 53% swing and the bass drum + ride groove. there are some specific tracks i've heard the rhythm before, but i can't remember any right now.
the other key piece is the 4:3 polymeter action. i had the idea of going ham on one pulse track, basically a 3-part harmony, cycling between 3 distinct instruments on sixteenths. (turned into 4 part voicing, if you count one of the instruments being a Cx0 arpeggiated dude)
i quite like the arp work in the "bridge". also the snare (super blippy) and ride (noise with a fast "vibrato" gets real metallic-y)
and minimal video finally
oh also i picked out the key of the tune by testing high-frequency Vxx commands on the lowest two pulse channel octaves, to see which gave a nice sub-octave effect. this key included a good number of notes where the Vxx landed roughly in tune.
