reacting to a criticism of the time machine

"this sounds like it was done in fruity loops."

lol. those are live guitars. also, the drum machine work is highly geeky. while a passive observer might hear a warp records influence, it's actually very influenced by phil collins. it was scored out linearly in classical drum notation...

i haven't worked much with fruity loops, but i think it would have difficulty producing a detailed, scored piece like this. the time signatures are shifting all over the place.

fwiw, the first part was written in noteworthy composer (which is an ancient scorewriter, sort of like finale) and sent to vst in cubase. the second and third parts were constructed in a wave editor out of heavily cut and processed samples from the first part.
