My process: I used this sample as a loop in four simultaneous layers. The first layer simply repeats the loop without change. The second loop repeats the loop, but stretches it out 0.5% longer for each repetition after the first. The third layer does the same, but stretches by %1 increments, the fourth layer by 1.5%. So all four layers start together but after the first cycle they begin to diverge, similarly to Steve Reich's phase pieces but at a very different (much less gradual) pace. I made the piece in Audacity over the course of an hour or so.

The great thing about this approach is that it "solves" the very-short-form dilemma of the original sample. The "what if it had been longer?" is answered in this particular contemplation, which explores the possibility in phases rather than trying to re-imagine the base melody. A very nice listen.

@kamikuma: Yes, you can certainly use your favorites as a playlist, another nice feature of SoundCloud.

@disquiet: Appreciate it. And thanks for putting into words something that I hadn't quite nailed down in my own head.

So good. Phases when done right are like experiencing instance and memory simultaneously, which is what this is.
