Everything on this recording originates from ONE small, small sample.. that sample is recorded to a pickup machine (looped) the that loop is sampled by a flex machine, and i slow down rate a lot.. but without changing pitch.. the i apply a lot of random LFO's to pitch, balance and a little bit less to len (in order to have slight variation om grain length) i record the playback of that track into a new pickup machine (length 12 steps, while the sending track is on a different step length in order o create randomness).. that pickup machine creates a rhythmic "grain cloud" that eventually creates the base rhythm, which also change when i adds to the loop... than an other track samples and replay PART of the loop and replays it on a flextrack with ordinary triggs.. it only samples 2 steps and on with a record trigg again on another number of steps that the loop so I again get some randomness.. Then all other tracks we hear sample parts of the recently mentioned flex track..
To make it interesting i frequently change patterns and also have a few other parts with only the to loops as common factors... one of them creates a feedback between the first pickup track and a flex track.. 
By this i mean that the pickup constantly samples the flex and the flex samples a few steps of the pickup which creates some interesting distortion..

BTW its 90 BPM, good to know if you wnat to borrow parts :-)
