A collection of simple algorithmic music experiments created with a self-made software tool. It explores harmonic motion based triggering of notes, and modal harmony mapping and sequencing of pitches.
Just 1 instrumental layer is involved in each composition.
By the moment, these are just studies, but will evolve into something serious in the future.

Concentrating

Chotto Matte (Japanese for "wait a moment") leans into lo-fi drum machine vibe with a raw, unpolished mix. Distorted percussion, thick pads and heavy hats create a dense groove. A mono-style layout and saturated kick give the track a compact, brutalist character. Rude, bassy and rolling.
