Experimentation

Over this last week, I have been experimenting with different samples and rhythm structures.

Some times the experiments provide useful results and the process moves forward.

Mainly though, they have led me nowhere and I find myself starting again from scratch the next day.

This is perhaps the first time in my life that I have worked in such a carefree, exploratory way.

I can see that this way of working may well stick with me. I love how, even if I do not make any measurable progress, I am constantly learning what doesn't work, then attacking the process from a fresh, and usually better angle the next day.

After a week of experimenting with different structures of sounds within a single loop, I have started to get some material that sounds a hundred times more interesting then anything I have made before.
