about

The basis of this simple piece is a live-ish jam on an ethnic VST instrument along with a rudimentary beat structure. I fed everything through that most overused of electronic music plugins, dBlue Glitch. To avoid a predictable outcome (dBlue Glitch has only a very small number of tricks up its sleeve) I used randomisation envelopes on some of the key parameters; I then rendered many versions of the track, each slightly different, and selected what I considered the most aesthetically pleasing offspring. I toyed with the idea of breeding these repeatedly until I had distilled the essence of the piece (Renoise, my chosen sequencer, uses an XML-based file format, making the task easier than you might imagine) but I was so happy with the initial result that I quickly forgot all about such academic musings.
