it sounds as if coins were dropping into a set of different bowls.

amazing results. Cool to hear about the process.

I always look forward to the beginning of the year when this project comes around.  This year I used this piece as a study for a much larger work - specifically using it as a way to experiment with a complex scripting language I have built on top of the RTcmix (www.rtcmix.org) scripting language, MinC.
My scripts allow me to create algorithmic musical patterns in a large number of dimensions:  volume, pitch, sample selection, tempo, placement in a simulated room-space etc.  Each dimension can be moved about in via an algorithmic plug-in, for example, random choice, sequential access, fixed value, etc.
The Psychedelic Ice Machine uses three sets of ice sound samples I have recorded over the years.  The score loops, creating an ever-changing set of patterns.  The relationship between these is sometimes clear and sometimes obscured.

Disquiet Junto Project 0576: Casual Resolution
The Assignment: Get a musical New Year’s resolution out of the way.

Everytime I label or tag something "ambient" I think it's wrong: It's not casual enough, you can hardly listen to it on the side, you actually have to listen with your brain, it doesn't drone harmlessly enough, it's too intense and it's still too interesting(your opinion may differ and it may only be a problem of my interpretation of the "ambient" tag ;-).

So for this year I planned to make a couple of what I think may be "true ambient" tracks. One-hour sound baths during which you can work and also listen to on loop for a week. This is the first one, it started as a single scene in Ableton and was refined in Reaper. Main synth is Repro-5, which was on sale at Native Instruments and is really a nice piece of software.
