Hi!

It all started with a single custom drumloop run through dozens of 
plugins, cut into pieces and rearranged to retrieve several versions 
that can be layered. That was years ago, using Cubase. Now I feel 
slightly awkward about that, but this material is way to good to 
leave it :)

I took those few short loops and a bunch of other old samples to 
build a track in Ardour. Said samples include me screaming into  
the mic, a car and a lorry passing by on a wet street and a soda 
stream.

So far its almost all percussion. I intend to add melodic parts.
Usually I build a "core" of a piece, consisting of 4 to 16 bars 
with complete instrumentation, but here I have a skeleton now, 
like was the case with "FM Casserole" and the collaborations with 
Folderol.

I post this WIP to gather some feedback, as I wonder if the breaks 
and transitions are maybe a bit rough and whether I should extend 
some parts to provide stability.
