TwoFourSix (Disquiet0246) by ikjoyce

This week's Junto was to record a simple, rhythmic piece of music that increases speed as it proceeds. First it will double, then it will quadruple, and then it will sextuple. An interesting idea, and one that had me thinking about using multiple switched clocks to generate the tempo changes. To make it more interesting, instead of having just the master clock change tempo I used three different and independent but correlated clocking systems with lots of switches and sequential switches, to achieve a mixture of two sequences that change speed in the required 2-4-6 manner, with the changeover points dictated by the third clocking system. I then faded in the sequences and tweaked the filters as the track moved on to a slight crescendo, then eased off and faded out.
