Rather than building up this session was more about building down. The ideas came together towards the end. The recording highlights this pretty well. It starts with a fairly fast beat, slows down and through the tempo change seems to inhabit a smaller space. A saw wave synth comes in just before the midpoint and the beats drop completely away to leave three synths dancing away together. Two are modulating FM synths while the relentless riff comes from the saw synth.
Most of the music is coming from changes to the duration of the synths. Although some of it is a little unpolished musically most of it is pretty interesting. The bass (when its there) is having its frequency controlled by brownian motion which gives it a nice wobbly feel.
Although the track could play infinitely in the same key I am changing the riffs very slightly up a key sometimes and down a key others.
Tune is here and code is here.
