During the Resurrect, Recycle & Remaster project my interests in IDM, broken beats, glitched rhythms and esoteric electronic sounds have risen again. I have also rediscovered how good the tracker interface is to slice, cut and rearrange sounds. Nowadays I use mostly VSTi synths/romplers intead of pure samples and I am used to a piano rolls as my sequencers.
During the last weekend I tried to make more sample oriented music and I managed to compose my first IDM track for a while. I cut some drum samples from a dubstep loop, loaded each sample as an individual Sampler channel in FL Studio and made a typical glitchy beat out of them. When the beat was ready I added some layers of melody (I used AquesTone to make that synthetic voice sound) and a bassline (a fat upright bass; I like to add some acoustic elements into midst of synthetic sounds). I also tried first time in my life Glitch to variate the beat here and there. I also used it to f*ck up the melody sequence at the end of the song.
The results were quite nice. Nothing revolutionary, but not bad either, I think. What do you think? Download the song and decide by yourself!
