I decided to use for my 2 tones piano and balafon (Ghanian). I choose the tones by just playing to see which ones got my interest and recored them with my Edirol R09 and soundman microphones. I then used SuperCollider to loop the sounds and to add the beats. I used sounds which I have made in the past (with a bit of tweaking), as these came to mind when I was listening back to the looped tones. I wanted the sounds to move against each other which is what I hope I have achieved for the 2 tones and first 2 beats. For the 3rd beat I found myself wanting a beat that would "cut across" the rhythms and to argument them, I was thinking for a djembe solo on top. I used gated pink noise for this which was produced using Dust.ar, so I had no control over when it happened. (I could sit back and enjoying listening)
