The Assignment: Make a piece of music that combines self-contained minimalist parts.

The idea for this piece was to have, on the one hand, some looping/repeating audio, and on the other hand looping/repeating audio effect automation. And then to create a piece on the fly by routing the audio into the effects channels, using a ‘matrix mixer’.
And then the hope was to have all of these patterns - patterns of played notes and patterns of changing effects - interact in interesting and unexpected, emerging, minimal-music like, ways.
Which, listening back, maybe happens… in some places… a little? But generally: not so much. 

That said, I’m not unhappy with the thing that came out of this little experiment. The piece has an interesting atmospheric feel to it, I think, not in the least due to the fact that I had the window open when recording (playing the bass part live while at the same time doing the routing of the audio). The wind and street noises - cars, seagulls - coming in and being fed into the effects chains, work rather well.
