I decided to challenge myself to make a song with only two primary sound sources: A piano patch and Electroplankton for Nintendo DS.

So every sound in here is either directly from or some sort of effected derivative of the piano or recordings of me making sounds in Electroplankton, including the drum samples which were sampled from the patterns in the game then totally rearranged. Some of the sounds I played a loop of the song into the DS mic and had EP f**k with it and send it back to Live for manipulation.

Here's my song: http://www.sgxmusic.com/music/SGX%20-%2 ... 0Whale.mp3

I've read about that thing, looks like a cool gadget,
this is an excellent arrangement, enjoying the ambient percs floating around

Very cool, sgx. Your challenge to yourself ended up giving me a great song. Thank you for this music.
