Description:
This song is the result of eight randomly generated notes, some math, a drum machine, and some samples.

The math makes the eight notes dance in different ways, while the samples attempt to keep things interesting. The drum machine attempts to stitch the whole mess together.

The mix is lacking a certain finesse, but I wanted to put it up here--any comments are welcome.

Enjoy.

There are some interesting and unexpected twists in the sequence. This is a good place for those synth voices. Overall you keep this generated sounds going well with your rhythm and incidental sound choices.

Thanks,
Bill

I'm moving to L.A. in a week,
and I'll start working on that
drum track soon thereafter.

If you find yourself lacking finesse, a big rock will usually make a sufficient substitute.

i dont think this lacks any finesse. i think its just fine the way it is. i also appreciate the way you went about creating it (randomly generated notes, math????). shows creativity, originality and the willingness to experiment. good work, and thank you for sharing.

i really like your choice of synths - it reminds me of early experimental music. the voice samples are just right in my opinion...

thanks
