Catchy title. Yeah, I know...

I was playing ‘march of chunk’, listening to the chord changes, wondering if new sounds might feed the rhythm differently and create something a bit more normal. Having found some new sounds, I deleted eight-bar sections of sound at random, aiming to leave only three sounds playing at any one time. I also took out some notes that didn’t fit.

I wondered where the strangeness around the rhythm was coming from. I think it’s there because many of the notes that were originally playing on the on-beat were now playing on the off-beat, and without a percussion track to give me a clue, I found it difficult to follow. I tried dancing to it in Tesco’s and received a two-month ban. (Not because I was dancing, but because I was dancing badly. Tesco’s actively encourage good dancers to let loose their talents, quite spontaneously, when instore, especially at the checkout or near the cheese. If you don’t believe me, just give it a whirl)

I like the different textures the combination of sounds make, and the discipline of only having three sounds playing at one time meant gave me a different challenge to work to.

It’s odd, like a mutated Michael Nyman score, but I think it works.

Anyway, I know what I think. I’m more interested in what you think?
