This piece represents an interesting conundrum - the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. The core idea, the quiet little sequence at the center of this piece, is something especially lame. Yet after coming up with that rippin' drumpart and adding those dense slabs of Poly-800 washes/pads, wow, something worth sharing. So here t'is.
Somewhere in the mythology this became the "Ricky Ricardo Drum Piece" as for some deranged reason I could see Desi Arnaz whaling away on his conga up on stage waiting for the moment to yell "Babalooah!". I think this piece was specially created for an ambient demo tape ('Ambient Shit', the tape the last few pieces are from) and may have been the inspiration for the tape itself. I gave a copy to someone who was doing an electronic music show on the radio and heard later that some of the tape was actually aired. Since it is all Midi this was most likely simultaneously tracked and mastered to a three-head cassette deck.

This is a related piece from a similar time, again off my 'ambient shit' cassette - who needs vox, eh?
