As per the junto instructions, I downloaded the Haydn track from where I would find my samples. I chose 4 samples, which was maybe a bit extravagant, but what do I know about minimal techno? I used Live's 'impulse' to create the actual beats using small snippets of the chosen samples. The rest were pitch shifted, stretched, filtered and compressed to varying degrees.  It runs at 125 bpm.
--this one was really fun for me, having never made techno before.
---Spawn of Slithus is an old b-movie that remains a legend in my past though I have never seen it and don't know if there was an original Slithus.

Spawn Of Slithus [disquiet0082-minimalhaydn]

Vincent van Haaff (flyingoctopus) is a multi-disciplinary media artist working with computer code to explore virtual and real spaces defined by rule-based systems. Originally from Southern California, he went from a record label co-founder and audio hacker in Los Angeles to a environmental activist in Santa Barbara. 

Now in Vancouver, Vincent engages with the community as a media artist, educator, and product engineer. His expertise spans from experimental music production, data and music visualization, computer vision, event and community installation, user centred design, and computational aesthetics.

My art practice involves sounds, images and things in-between.  Temporality is an ongoing theme.  Sounds, images and other media evoke different space-times; treating time materially, reflecting on phenomenological, psychic, technological, social and political realities.  My work often involves grids (regular and irregular), pulsed and free time, noise, drones, melodic material that ranges between static, meandering and narrative and directional, the use of voice (including so called “extended techniques”), sounds of indefinite origin with ambiguous properties, the interplay between meticulous and process-based working methods and more intuitive approaches to composing or arranging materials, and the use of relatively “free” improvisation.

Purveyors of experimental, improvised, and electronic music from home and abroad since 2002.

I am a composer, sound designer and media artist. I like creating environments through sound, and exploring the sonic qualities of found sounds, field recordings and 'machine languages' of everyday things. I get inspired by constraints.
I have performed internationally as 1/2 of the duo Coin Gutter, and received international awards for the my installations and performances as part of Manufacturing Entertainment.
I work with performance artists, dancers, theatre companies, film/video artists, animators etc, creating experimental sound design for their work.
