For SounDevotion Competition, Round 53

Taking samples of something I noodled in Korg DS-10 and then tracking (with Renoise) around them generated a result that feels neither like tracking, nor like jamming on DS-10.  Please recall the 90s when there were a lot of tech/trance music that dared the listener to sit through repeating motifs and watch for very subtle changes.  Thankfully, I’m not that subtle.

The lyric means that extremism is not rewarded as often as it may appear to be, and that something can be gained from any experience, positive or negative.

There is no home for the quiet
There is no home for the loud
There is no home for the humble
There is no home for the proud

There is no wasted time.

For SounDevotion Competition Round 52

This is what happens when you play around with a mediocre idea for two weeks, then throw it out and start over on one great idea.

The result is short, diatonic, and simple, and is better than what I was trying to make before it.
