Ambient
Here's a new thing based around palindromic loops - if you could play the loops backwards in isolation they should sound the same. The only use of a sequencer was to run the drum track (which is deliberately out of sync with the loops). Apart from the drums everything was played on one of those 'guitar' things (actually three), including the synth parts.

Ambient
This is a reworking of a track that I recorded 19 years ago - so it's been on my todo list to re-record 'for some time'. It's constructed in a way that's faithful to the original, but is it ambient?' Well, it has some ambient aspects to it, but it also has a deliberately big, metronomic drum track, so maybe or maybe not. There are various ways to approach it, but for now I wanted to do this version.

Ambient
A fairly minimal system-based thing created from a set of related loops that shift over and around each other. This recording is an extract of the running system. Most of the musical artifacts are just coincidences. The recording quality's 'adequate' - it started life as just an experiment and I ended up keeping it.
