ILOVEMAKONNEN ~ Tuesday Feat. Drake

I took an 11-second snippet of the original track as my core sample.  I wanted to bring out the tonal aspect, so I did some pitch-shifting in Ableton Live to make four versions of the sample - original pitch, pitch- and time-stretched down a fourth, a fifth, and an octave.  I used follow actions to make the clips semi-randomly move downward then back up.  When the clip decided to repeat itself for the last time, the track ended.

However, the chords were hard to hear, so I duplicated the track and then added a Resonator in Ableton Live tuned to match the pitch-shifted chords and a couple of delays to make the chords stick around longer.

Then I took the core sample again and sliced it up into at least 22 micro-samples, each of which repeated or went on to the next sample at their own discretion.  This created "areas" of repeating samples that serve as a kind of form.

This is maybe the most IDM I've ever gotten.
