Description
This is a surreal electronica piece featuring the tune-up loops and only the tune-up loops - figured I'd make the most of them. Uses 10 of the tuneup loops. They are somewhat effected, tweaked, cut-up and rearranged in places but still loops. I went out of my way not to listen to other entries to keep my morale up!

Good Production
I think you may want to spice it up a bit with some of your
won melodies on top - right now it sounds like a layered
sequence of background loops.

Loops, loops, ...
Rhodes loop, vibes loop, synth loop. Hm. If all the
variation comes from switching from one background to
another, I start zoning out.

This one is a bit electronic and repeating but my intent was to use only the
loops in the small package provided - which would have made an interesting
constraint for the contest. I'm sure the winning entry will be something that
buries 3 loops behind great vocals or live instrumentals. I take your feedback
seriously, but I don't think loops have much to do with it. I think your
observation is that there isn't enough melodic variation to hold your interest.
Whether I attempted that with loops or with a keyboard is immaterial.

Partly it's the lack of melody.

But you can do more with loops. Take a loop, and play just the first couple of
notes (4 times), then a couple more notes (again, 4 times), then the full loop.
That way you actually build up something from the basic material.

Or play two loops against each other in interesting ways.
