At first I was a little confused by your files, as your original email stated something about "complete tracks". To my ears, and I think this is more what you were suggesting, there is some good raw material here to be broken down and remixed into musical pieces. The discord piece especially has some good polyrhythms, for want of a better description, and has the potential to get a nice gritty groove going on ala Tortoise's Djed track. As for suggestions as to what to do with the material to bring out the groove, I think Peter just pretty much offered up everything I was going to suggest... I'd go so far as to suggest some saturated distortion on extremely narrow but well chosen frequency bands to bring out the glitchiness a little more in a percussive way.

Hi,

I had some fun with alsamodularsynt [snip] sitting in front of a powerful

Maybe now you could split the track up in frequency ranges and use compression on each resulting track, instead of simply using EQ on the original.
I don't know if there's a compressor with side chain input available, but that might be useful too, e.g. to make the bass frequency range 'pump' down the other frequency ranges. (IIRC, there was a tutorial about doing that with LMMS).
If you have the higher frequency range on a separate track, add some reverb or panning or delay ?
An expander or gate could add rhythm accentuation.

Just my 2p, I didn't find the time to do all this to see if it works ;-)
