I used three apps on the iPad, Fractal Bits, Bram Bos's Rhythm and SloMoFx. I created a mutating beat at 118bpm and fed it through SloMoFx to slow the output periodically. The results were then bounced and halved in speed, fed through another instance of SloMoFx and so on and so on until the beat was a glitchy boomy sludge.
Whilst all that was going on I was feeding a sample of some revival preacher from a RadioMusic module and played around with the pitch playback. The result kinda approximates my mental state after days of Election anxiety and insanity. Be safe everybody.
