"Pitch Sequences" [mp3 removed]
Sort of trancy, sort of Raymond Scott-y.
The main riffs are done with the Mutator filterbank--a run of notes written in my sequencer's MIDI pitchbend controller modulates a few basic drum machine hits into arpeggiated sounding melodies (which sound different in each channel).
On top of that is a sixteen note sequence which you can't hear--it is carved into four motifs using the "polyphony" mode of a four-voice analog synth. I didn't write these tunes so much as pick them from a range of choices the synth was randomly generating. Each sounds different because the four voices are each programmed differently. It was a bit of a pain in that I had to re-create the motifs by hitting "restart" many times when it got to the recording stage.
