"New Monuments (House Mix)" [mp3 removed]
Have been working on this for about a week. The soundtrack for the "New Monuments" video is a spinoff mix from this. It's essentially the "Sidbeats 2" track posted previously with some lush house pads but it took a lot of work to get those two to jibe. The grooves are kind of stop and start (by design) so it's not a true house tune.

This was done in the Limelight Reaktor instrument. I might use it for something else but it feels complete (if terse) like this.

"New Monuments (audio only)" [mp3 removed]
apologies to Joel Holmberg, Lucas Samaras, Giovanni Garcia-Fenech, Irene Ryan, Marie Chabelska, Abe Linkoln, and many others.
"Yorga's Dub" [mp3 removed]
More heavily processed Sidstation samples (heavy for me anyway) and a standard commercial house loop marbled together in a slab of dubby artcore.
Named for The Return of Count Yorga, a favorite film when I was sixteen. (Apropos of nothing.)
"Fade Series (Krypt)" [mp3 removed]
Loaded a Reaktor sample map with my previously-made 43 Sidstation percussion samples and played them "granularized" in the Krypt sequenced synth. Sometimes the granularizer "read" only the 43 samples, but other times it was scanning a map of 99 samples (due to the sampler presets) so silence was added to the grain-cloud for 56 of the slots. (Hence more spare rhythms.) I ended up with 16 tunes of 4 bars each that sounded OK, then layered and crossfaded them DJ style to get this piece, which is more on ambient/experimental tip but still rhythmic and melodic.
