This week's piece started mid-week, with an odd little drum pattern I heard in my head that turned out to be in 7 when I sketched it out with TR-606 single-hits.  I didn't want to lose the unsettled, prime quality of it, so as I played with a number of other complementary rhythms (in Visco, K3M, and trap kit voices), I tended toward other prime numbers (3 and 5), but some power-of-2 rhythms showed up in there as well.  I wrote and discarded a number of other voices, but kept the four percussion voices, a couple synth voices (square wave trem bass and smeary lead), and also ended up playing real guitar and bass for this.  They didn't sound right in context, though, so I ended up mangling them with inline processing: Live's Resonator on the bass, and Max For Live's Granular-to-go on the guitar.  The end result has a lot of 7s and 5s in it, which is fitting for semiprime week 35.
