Trip-Hop seems to be the result when trying to create a World Fusion track from samples having the requirement that none of the samples are used as is. Seems like editing the vocals with Melodyne would have produced a more stylistic Bhangra track (instead of pitch shift, reverse, cut, and effects) but the result is an interesting enough ride depending on what you're looking for. "Weird" being the operative word in this case perhaps. I might go back and redo the vocals. The more you make, the more you learn. https://soundcloud.com/greg-turner-552985147/eeg-map-op

Hey Greg,

Amazing and ear catching throughout the track as a whole. Kept myself asking what's next, and how you'd do it. I was waiting on you to trip over your self or over do it. Though, I believe handled your business on that there track, Take care.

I'm pretty happy with it too but I thought the drumming could have been more composed like with concerted triplets or a swing thing. When I'm coming up with this crazy stuff I always remember the ethnomusicological field recordings I used to listen to. On this one I was trying to emulate the drumming in Kerala India. Do you really feel it can be called Trip-Hop or maybe it's something else?

Very trippy in a fun exciting way, felt like a journey and wild ride. Could it be called "Experimental Hip Hop"? Or is "Trip - Hop" within the "Experimental Hip Hop" genre? Would like to hear you collaborate with Andre Stepanian, that would be interesting. The swing twist might be a move to make. Though, it might make the track less lab like, and more dance maybe. I'm not that educated on the subject. Amazing track.

Hadn't thought of swing. Interesting. Hmmm....

Just wanted to say as someone who knows nothing about this genre at all, I really enjoyed this. A bit disorienting, but fun!

I think that if you are not completely satisfied with the result, the melody can be improved. Although for me, it sounds interesting and unlike other melodies, original sound.

Thanks Irthlingz and Kay. I've moved on for now.
