At the moment I'm going through a phase of whacking Roland JV-1080 drum maps through distortion and overdrive, then routing them through the Korg Prophecy's appregiator at a tempo slightly out of synch with Cubase's bpm. I'll mess around the quantise and then physically move everything about to create some exotic, crunchy rhythms. I may fire up the Akai S950, pull a drum loop off a disk at random, resample it down to a ridiculously low rate and then have it sitting under the JV loops. I'm also taking advantage of my Korg M1's corrupted data card, which has scrambled loads of stored sounds, resulting in some very weird noises which I wouldn't be able to get just by programming. I'll then stick down some ambient pads with the JV-1080, routing different effects through them to contrast with the crunchy drums, then use the Prophecy for a main lead, or something. Result: a sort-of jazzed up, melodic Autechre. I hope to be putting up and MP3 of my next EP onto a website -- free of charge, naturally. /\/)ark
