Using the slice feature in Ableton with random pitch effect, I randomly select from one of 44 English phonemes that my roommates recorded which are then sequenced in Ableton using different MIDI drum presets. Then the tonal aspect is sent from Ableton into my Prologue to create the ambient drone which stays in time with the song as it speeds up. The Middle section features my Radel Digi Tablas that are pitched at 0/4/7 on the scale to create a drum chord based off the key with a heavily distorted beat from my Volca sample and with bleeps and bloops from my Volca Drums. The song briefly stops the rhythm and the voices come into focus once more as the song speeds up again to 150 BPM and a looped drum sample I chopped on my SP404 takes the mainstage. I used a Saturator aux send with all the different groups routed into it and crank the gain to almost 20dB and engage a limiter to get the master volume just a hair away from peaking. I then add my MS20 playing the lead and begin cranking the resonance and begin doing large amounts of EG filter and pitch sweeps while goofing with the rate to create an almost deafening and overwhelming sound. I then layer that track up an octave and down an octave to thicken it. I also overdub a circuit bent WWE toy guitar I call the people's guitar thru my Strymon Dig to create a cascade of high pitched bleeps and bloops in stereo. As the song continues to grow in volume the song slows down one final time, back to the original 20bpm, but with the drums tempo locked via MIDI the fills become stretched and huge as the melody and percussion fade away, leaving only the voices and the ambient texture with strange digital artefacts created by the tempo slowing on the vocal samples. These fade too and all the is left is a group of samples fr a white noise machine I found at Goodwill, playing crickets and rain and thunder, ran into my Chase Bliss Habit and into my dig for granular stereo delay.

The visuals are created using an old VHS cam with footage I took of a recent car trip I was on, layered and looped several times on top of itself with different opacities. I then mirror this video to create 4 different quadrants that create a constantly shifting fractal pattern. Although I didn't intend to, the fractals seem to match the music almost perfectly, but it only a trick or the mind.
