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…

Okay I need to say a few things. Please read before listening!
I did not do the 24 hour challenge but I did try and hang around in the chatroom as much as possible with Glu, SisterS, and ChrisM while they battled through it.
At about midnight…

Took a few hours to make. For example a lot of fades are hand drawn automation and the whole thing is 540 bars long so that took a while even though I can copy & paste automation data in Logic.
The 05:00 mark I went a bit mad with the filter resonance. I have a version where I clean that up a little and it sounds better I think. I might replace the online version.

So how long did this take DAMN - an alarm went off just as I started typing LOL - 5 minutes in!
So as i was about to say - this is intriguing and the fade-ins/outs and those watery textures make it fun. It's a long way off my beaten track but still in my jungle ... it's getting to the stage now where I'll have to pick up a guitar ...

I don't have a lot of time this morning but it's definitely time for you to stop being so modest. This totally deserves a more pretentious description. How about (in a deep announcer voice): a post-modern sonic exploration of the contemporary kick drum.

Well you know on further listening I do find things to like in this. I'm inclined to give the process another go (maybe with a slightly shorter time frame) and think more about structure.
Thanks again for your comments folks.

This will maybe sound crazy, but I can hear just adding low drone in places and then a big ominous synth wash over the top. Don't trash it- it's got a lot of possibility!
The exquisite bass was performed by my friend Edo Castro, but everything else was done on a Waldorf XTk.
In fact, originally the bass line was from an entirely other recording. What I did was to mute the other tracks and record all new ones…

Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.
Later, when I brought the thing home I couldn't leave well enough alone and started…

Uploaded a new version which fixes the drums although there's still a feedback problem (related to MIDI timing I think) that needs to be fixed in a final mix.

Okay this is the problem with mixing being "throw a mastering channel strip on it, bounce, upload". At some point about the 2 minute mark the drums track have cut out - probably overloaded Reaktor again. So then you get 2:30 that is largely just the bass.
A little study using Dmin6 and Dmin7 with a little D dorian dressing.

When you do this kind of track it evokes a feeling of travelling without moving.
It reminds me of being a passenger in a car on a motorway at night, slightly tired and letting the world glide, carelessly, past me.
I've always liked that feeling.

Thanks for the kind words folks, much appreciated :)
I think you nailed the breakdown, love when it comes back in. Great tune.
Aggressive.
This interesting and very clever. Most enjoyable!
Great job on this one! Keep it up. :)
See what happens when you start clowning around :D This is really something. I have to listen again.
nice! I like how this one turned out!
Yes- I think you hit the proverbial nail on the freakin' head with this one. Love the beat and that crunchy bass
I do love dancy rhythm. It does it for me!
yeay! love it! you are quite the sound sculptor, amigo.
Digging the glitchy bits and the synths!
what is the bpm for Mr. Palmer?

I'd like to build a song around Mr. Palmer.
love the rhythmic malfunctions. inspiring.
! Um...I can't believe you put a massive disclaimer on this! Incredibly well played, Sandbags!

Welcome Seth :)
Perfect Sunday morning track.
Oh man that was great.
ack...foo... no edits... channelling...
I believe Sister is channel the shorts... or something :)
That was rather fun :)
Love your sound.
Love this.
I enjoyed this one very much.
Cool sound.
What an awesome track, I love this.
Awesome track man, this puts me in mind of my beloved Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks. Kudos to you!
Very chilled. Bring on the full track.
I'm really liking your stuff and happy to see a fellow Logic user!

Fabulous sound. Liked this one very much.
I love the hauntingly distant piano's you've created here. Very much.
I was so totally there. Awesome.
