Minimalism on the Octatrack (Riley, Reich style ,octa only...)

Again using the Octatrack for something a bit different… Minimalism…
Three track used… that’s it… only the first track plyas a sample but so procesed that it is hard to recognize…

It is done like this:
The first track, flex, plays a sample through a comb filter, the second track, a pickup; loops the first but with a different length and the third loops “grains” from the second track into a evolving rhythmic pattern.
I use the crossfader and parameters on the two main track to control filter frequencies on the loop and comb filter pitch in the track with the sample…
So the development on these two track is mainly due the “clash” between the flex tack and the loop when the are slightly out of sync, then i add to loop and slightly move the crossfader to create movement, the rhythmic loop enters around 03:25… or so…

Masterful work.

BTW, I hope to get around to trying out your project on my Octatrack very soon (tonight or the weekend).
