eh so I've decided I like my old minimalist/more ambient stuff a lot better but I want to marry it with sort of weird musical rules? So I figured out how to make Jeskola Buzz do FRACTIONAL time signatures I guess. It's also in a sort of polymeter? Like the kick drum is 2 2/3 beats long for 3 bars, which adds up evenly to 8 beats. The other tracks are things like 1 3/5 beats, which 5 of those add up to 8 too. I did also make the tracks in different beat divisions like triplets etc. but in ways that conflict with the bar length. Like I think the kick is in sixteenth notes/whatever even though triplets would be more appropriate? Basically the goal is to make the rhythms sound non-repetitive even though they're just being swapped in and out, but to converge also so the brain 'accepts' it more. I dunno

Your new style is dope! I like hearing it.
 
It's a curious thing that my brain immediately picks up a tempo and a beat. In the beginning it's easier, but I tried skipping to the middle of the song and the same thing happens, my brain immediately thinks it's got the pulse of the song figured out. It could be off of course, but it's still cool. I'm trying to imagine the probabilistic fuzzy logic biowet algorithmic complexity madness that must be going on in my head, could probably nuke all of modern computer science with it. Or maybe someone who knows anything about signal analysis could nuke me, but my brain liked thinking this thought anyway.

trying snares-type stuff again after figuring out there must be a lot of gating going on with his breakbeats. Either way I like it, the bits to cut out of the loop are more obvious and it sort of sounds like that 80's/90's ? drum machine sound I like
 
http://soundcloud.com/supergrandmatales324/harsh-red-gummies-second-demo eh now it's long enough to actually make a judgement on it

trying to do like my more repetitive stuff but enough weird rhythmic things in play to stay interesting for 5 minutes
