Created on html5drummachine with no post editing. This song is the feeling of exploring a strange house in a dream. The dials are a bit tricky to run with a mouse so please excuse the bad transitions and the abrupt end.

After experimenting for a while and tuning all the drums and setting the tempo very low (27bpm) for longer parts, I created an A and B pattern with kick/snare/open. I then created two contrasting schemes on perc1/perc2 and high/mid/low for each pattern. Live mixing consisted of trying for a crash on the start of sections, plus adjusting volumes. Volumes for each scheme were adjusted together, so either the perc1/perc2 was running or the high/mid/low was running, and I switched between patterns to create contrast.

The name of the track is taken from the automatic name generated by html5drummachine.com. Try out the drum machine; you will like it.

"It matters not how strait the gate, 
 How charged with punishments the scroll, 
 I am the master of my fate: 
 I am the captain of my soul."
 Invictus - William Ernest Henley
