And it works!
(seriously, my friends and I used to create chirpy industrial dance sounds
by doing almost the same thing and playing it through a synth. Works good
with a minimal drum machine like a TR-505, and an easily programmable synth
like an ESQ-1. I'm certain it's the way a lot of bands created the same
type of sound :-)
ObIDM-in-Minutes-or-less: Jeff Thorne and I created a very
plastikman-sounding tune the other night in less than 10 minutes. The sum
track total of all the parts (before looping) was maybe 16 measures, and
the tune could have gone on forever. I'm also certain we could have
convinced the average person that it was a Plastikman tune.
