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.

Mmm. I think stability might be an issue though maybe a nice bassline
can provide that. It's not as groovy as some of your other stuff and
doesn't seem to have as nice a "feel" maybe this is just a sign of
your stuff improving. Hi btw, i'm not dead, i'm just in South Korea.
