Started with .midi found here: https://www.midiworld.com/rachmaninov.htm
Mostly Ableton plugins
Experiments with automated mixing/panning

I'll make something with an actual beat soon.  Promise.

Practice with microsampling, drum programming and freezing/flattening.
The toms suck on this.  One of those "just let it go" situations.

BS007: Midnight in America

Experiments with ADSR, duty cycles and bpm changes
Generated entirely in Ableton using Magic 8bit plugin.  The music trackers I found wouldn't play nicely with Catalina :(

BS008: String Quartet in F Major, 2nd Movement (Ravel)

It seemed like the right time to let this one go.
