A more extreme example after the non-4/4 request.
It's called No Fever . Because the sequence has a length of 37 steps.

Yeah, this is nice. It's only the first few seconds yet, but this is what I meant by different sounds. Interesting to hear another work of yours - but with a different sound. The general SamZen originality is still very present, but as mentioned; different sound, which provides for a refreshing impression.

Thanks. 'is still present' is a very important remark to me, Because there is a huge difference in making analog or digital works. The methods, the parameters, the controls, etc. So if there is some 'common' thing, I'm pleased to hear that.

Yes, the 'common thing' I think is your unique approach. The free mind; you disregard most that there is to disregard when it comes to standard tonality, I think. You provide a lot of mysterious sounds that are hard to relate to any scale or anything. Listening to 'No Fever' again now as I'm writing. Very unusual.

Nice tune; some parts really tickled the laughing nerves  :)

I don't disregard things, just as being opposed to some standard tonality. It's always a conscious choice regarding the work I have in mind. So if I want to make a landscape, I don't care about tonal chords, but choose to look for other relations between the sound-events. And it would be quite difficult, to make a statement about executions, like in "Lineup", while only using very correct notes neatly fitting in A major.
With your comment about 'Chisp' in mind about counts and subcounts : Try this one.
You will find that the recognition of a cycle of 37 steps is beyond the capacity of the human mind.
It immediately tries to find sub-accents in the cycle, to keep up with it. In this case, as you mentioned, the tonal changes makes the difference, and result in the sub-count.
My experience : 1 x 1, 6 x 5, 2 x 3. Like in Indian raga's where a 'Tala' of 11 beats can be read as 3 x 3 and 1 x 2.
As an indication of the complete cycle of 37 I added a bell sound.

You made me curious.. I'm always pleased if I can cause a smile of course, but which elements of the song appeared to be so funny, I wonder. Is it the collection of sounds, the characteristics, the structure ?

I see, SamZen. I obviously used the wrong word. I looked up 'disregard' in the dictionary, and I see why you reacted. I didn't mean that you ignore certain elements - rather that you consciously choose different solutions; solutions that include a very wide approach to tonality. This approach again,  naturally, provides for a low focus on standard (...narrow??) tonality and scales. I myself have developed into enjoying this approach more and more as time goes by.

Combined with the background sequence, the sound whose pitch slides up starting from beginning and finally goes 'frenzy' around 0:40.

Your semantic analysis is right. I'm pleased if you enjoy these things. Even if you decide for a classical solution for some song, at least you know you had several options.
This is not only about how to make things, but also about how to receive them, as a listener.

I see what you mean.
