My submission to the #DisquietJunto 553 with the assignment: Record in a steady tempo but break it on occasion. It's a simple 8-step sequence. Gates from the 5th and 7th step are sent through a Bernoulli gate, which is set to 10%, to the reset intput. So on avarage 1 in 10 times step number 5 and 6 are played and 1 in 100 step 7 and 8. The gate from step 8 is connected to the Stop-input and a cymbel-sound, so after on avarage 100 cycles the piece will end with a crash. Every first step moves the second sequence which moves the bass and the melody and chords with it. The result is a simple tune that would nicely disappear into the background, except every now and then something happens that makes you look up.

There was a time when I was involved in Science! But that was a mistake. My Passion is music. I play the pipe-organ and synthesizer, I play the organ in a few bands and I like Apple computers. I discovered SuperCollider and VCV Rack: great ways of making sounds. Enjoy them on SoundCloud!
