so I think the bug with the previous posting was the way I migrated the track from .wav to .mp3 -- i think this one should work:

house music
for electronic music, i made a house track in reason. it's a little on the downtempo end of things -- 115bpm. i used a funky two bar bass loop with some syncopation, a pretty standard house/disco drum beat, a delayed synth chromatic scale to bring in some tension, a steel-drum feeling two-bar synth melody, and a reverbed synth adaptation of the progression from palchelbel's canon (put in A minor). it's almost all in pentatonic A minor, with a few Fs thrown into the steel-drum line

edit: it appears there is some error accessing the track on boomp3 -- i've reloaded it and it still doesn't seem to work -- I've emailed it to Chris, but email me if you want a copy. my apologies -- does anyone know of another site on which I could try to host my files?

This is an etude in tempo modulation synchronized over 4 loops:
Boomp3.com
It's based on the click file in four loops, one at C, one at D#, one at F#, and one at G. There are two effects, convolver and very long delay. The tempo increases as the track goes on, until it abruptly stops. As tempo increases, pitch increases as well.
This is an etude in pitch modulation on individual loops:
Boomp3.com
This is made of the same four clicks starting at the same pitches, with a stereo mix so that one loop is 100/0 l/r, one is 67/33 l/r, one is 33/67 l/r, and one is 0/100 l/r. Each one is modulated with the k-pitch midi controller, resulting in low thuds and high clicks as the knob is turned. I found it difficult to control the pitch with a fine grain -- I think changing the output mode from ln, (o, 200) to something exponential might give me more control over pitch within an octave, or I may need to use a different midi control for later work.
This is an etude in panning:
Boomp3.com
This starts out with different section of the same clicks as before, with all loops @ 50/50 l/r, but then each loop is panned across the channels to match the setup in the previous track (100/0, 67/333, 33/67, 0/100). Then they are panned so they end up transposed, i.e. loop 1 moves from 100/0 l/r to 0/100 lr, loop 2 moves from 67/33 to 33/67, etc. After this, each returns to 50/50.
I also made one in which I tried to combine these modulations and also play with the gains on the four loops. It turns out I don't have enough fingers or coordination to really do that many things at once, but with a little practice, I think I can probably do better:

Also, did you know that boomp3.com will also host .wav files? At least, it seems to be, because that's what I've done here.
Saturday afternoon, I did some homework at YalMusT, and while I was working, I opened up radiaL and put some of the loops from the "content/audio and video media sources/audio media sources/100bpm loops" folders, where I found some pretty funky guitar and bass loops. I especially recommend 3gl4c005.wav for a chickenscratch type guitar line, and 3ebc005.wav for a , and 3dl40391 for a nice synth percussion part with some cool pitch effects. I'm going to try playing around with them next time I've got some free time. If it turns out well, I'll post the results...
