An exercise in controlled chaos gradually resolving to some sort of recognisable order.
A sequence in ChordJam A is driving ChordJam B which is set (initially) to randomise more or less everything.
The 5 outputs (channels 1 to 5) of ChordJam B are driving 5 instances of Entonal Studio, each one set to a different scale.
Each Entonal Studio is playing a Decent Sampler with a different preset from Venus Theory primetra.
Finally Decent Sampler drops, pure preset is being played by channel 1 of ChordJam B.
Part of the way through I gradually start removing all of the randomisation and move everything to a C Major scale, or as close as I can get to it !
