Rhythmic parts made with Tidal Cycles, editing and the final section finished in Ableton. The track samples Hofa's Santa Claus Is Coming.

Tidal project code available below (illustrative, as source samples will be missing of course):

VIOS is taken from the VOID EP and created predominantly on Abelton Live Granulator 2 software.  Its a rough and raw experimental composition that arose from my question 'If Aliens made music, what would it sound like?' This is my answer to that question. 
VIOS is definitely a stripped back offering of sound and noise interspersed with sci-fi pads and distorted drum stabs.

VOID EP is a rough and raw experimental EP that arose from my question 'If Aliens made music, what would it sound like?' This is my answer to that question. Tracks feature distorted beats layered with sci-fi pads and atmospheric granular sounds. I appreciate the sonic palettes of Autechre, Richard Devine and Sarah Belle Reid.
