I just got myself a new toy called Maschine. Maschine is a "Groove Production Studio." So I guess that makes this my first groove product.

Was this the crappy, overlong, attempt at an ambient track that I did to try and fill time?

Oh wait, I think this may be the crappy ambient track.

A very dull title, I guess my hopes for this track are not high :)

Everything was getting to complex and messy so I tried to go back to layering more simple patterns with this one.

I liked the sound of this one but I don't know if it works as a track.

The first track I built, back when I was still full of hope for this exercise. I'm not convinced the hope survived it :)

I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one. I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me. I was close to abandoning the track…

This is quite an old track that got abandoned because I didn't feel it was right or going anywhere. But listening to it in iTunes this morning I thought it passed muster. I don't think it has enough variation to justify it's length but it's gently…
