Creeping through my veins

So this was one of those out of the blue unexpected things - apart from anything else I have never done a Drum and Bass track before (or Jungle).
I was messing about with a pulsey pad in Zed synth and found something I quite liked, at 82bpm... I added a laid back iElectribe track with lots of
processed bleeps and squawks but it just wasn't coming together, so I opened up Stochastik with the intention of adding another layer of percussion
and got sidetracked playing with the Jungle preset that the app opens on, I was having fun so I wrote a new pattern at 164bpm and tingered around with it.
I eventually wrote about half a dozen distinct bits of varying levels of intensity and exported the best 3 to loopy as 16 bar patterns. I liked the
way it sounded with my original Zed synth parts but had no idea what to do next, eventually I opened up Nave and just jammed along until I got that
bassoon sounding lead line, I seem to like that sound a lot this year, it has taken over from my cello obsession from last year. Anyway - added the two
lead lines and an effect or two and pasted the lot into Nanostudio where I added a sub-bass and a couple of kick lines. Finally found the samples from
Maniac (1934) and pasted a bunch of them in - but the 32 bars of "Burning in my head, flowing through my veins, snort, gasp" I stumbled upon by accident
at the end of a poorly trimmed sample (Doctor, he seems to be getting worse!" and loved that. Samples from the very camp, now public domain, movie Maniac (1934) otherwise known as Sex Maniac.
