Do drums really always need a signature and fixed patterns? Since beginning of January I am experimenting with Ableton 8, creating sound patterns which follow a certain flow but no defined signature. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure whether this is possible at all. Isn’t there always a signature? Isn’t there always a system in the chaos? Mathematics answer yes, do we drummers agree? One could argue, yes…or no…I am not sure myself, I am at the beginning of this work and will focus on that within the following months…

here’s a short video clip I upped to YouTube, just piano, drums and a few strange sounds…have fun!
