File updated Sep/7th/2021 after some positive feedback, shorter, more dynamic...
Part of a work in progress (on hold, almost abandoned) I planned to build 5 repetitive pieces using percussion instruments and tempo delays. My plan was to build some hypnotic rhythms in odd time signatures (3/4 5/4 7/4 9/4 11/4) and make it more in the 1970's repetitive music vein and not on a groovy world music percussion track.
I'm not a serious percussion player really so I can't develop a swinging percussion solo, but I thought it was interesting to explore the "mechanical" development of repetitive, copy/paste grooves I can create using multiple percussion instruments and other objects.
I already shared here the first Pulse 3 track, this is the second I recorded, then a few months back I decided to stop, cause I don't think this is really interesting.
Is it?
I consider three options now:
1- Should I use these full tracks as the basis for something else? (adding other melodic instruments and textures above it?)
2- Should I make a 1 minute snippet and use it as a rhythmic interlude on an album or something?
3-Or should I trash it and just extract some rhythmic loops for my Loop Vault?
Comments, opinions and critics are appreciated.
