dice test

Description
This is a little test sample for a new creative system I've developed. If you want to get involved, here's the forum post: http://www.macjams.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=22;showtopic=242416

Every aspect of this tune was determined entirely by rolling dice, from tempo, fx parameters, length, arrangement, instruments used, right down to the feel, volume, automation, and tonal/textural nature of each individual track. This is what you end up with when you allow yourself to utterly randomize your songwriting.

nice S-sure dice
It requires special talent to extract this intriguing rand()Scat out of the roll of the dice... to turn chaos theory into music theory. You got it.

Makes my creativity-bone start to itch... wish I had time to respond with my own experiment. Hopefully soon... this was hilariously fun.
ttfn,
