Something I gotta commend on your tracks in general, you're keen on adding "this only happens once" sounds to your songs. You create memorable landmarks should the listener view the song as a landscape, and personality quirks should the listener see the song as an acquaintance. 4:54 has a nice spacey springy sound, spring reverb even?

thanks, thats a cool way to think about it. i like to think of really varied tracks like a story, and those moments as key plotpoints or things that would just stick with a reader. plus one of my favorite things about aphex twin's more lively tracks (which is what this was mostly inspired by) is when certain patterns or sounds just happen once, seemingly for no reason. but the more i listen to those tracks, the more it seems to make sense.
4:54 and all the feedback sounds leading up to it came from automating valhalla freqecho which happens to be the only other free valhalla plugin i have.

I absolutely adore how percussive this is, gives off a really neat jungle vibe.

thanks. thats the power of stereo width, probably
