Am I allowed to make another topic? No? Well, it's a little late now....

Anyway, I've got a new track up, written in 5/4 time. I think it may also be the longest thing I've done yet (at 4:38 ). Thoughts?

i like the pad type part at the start where the pitch is going up and down. is that an LFO or a sequence?

If I recall correctly, it's a sample of myself making a noise (I'd have to check. I record a lot of samples), ran through heavy reverb (and possibly an LFO filter), playing an Eastern sort of scale (I'm not sure exactly which one. I made up the note structure with a vague pattern in mind) up & down on loop.

not bad. a nice bit of radiophonic madness there.

i think that's my sunday morning incentive to power up the modular

that is freaking cool.
way to think (and live creatively) outside of the 4/4 box there...

very good arrangement and mix, too. it's pretty close to some of my kind of "ideal experimental sound" (i don't know if that makes sense!)

Thanks. Time signature experimentation has been my big focus lately. I'm aiming to eventually do tracks (and make them work) in something really out there, like 19/16 time or (square root of 40)/pi time (I think I'm making that last one up). Plus it helps for when I want to do genre music (a fair number of Broadway musicals (a style I've been thinking about trying/parodying) seem to be written in somewhat uncommon time signatures).
