Interesting. Not really my cup of tea, but still interesting. I'm sure
an effective bass line could be worked in there, but I can't see how
you could fit anything else in. You've just about filled all the
'space' :)

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.

That's beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the beat that emerges at about 1:22 and
continues for the rest of it, and which suggests to me like a funky bassline might go
nicely underneath it. Other than that, it seems pretty complete to me as a drum solo.
