About

The music
This piece of music is mainly based on a somewhat "weird" rhythm part of drums and bass, playing loops with variations. It starts with a one note obstinate Bass line and sustained distorted Guitar chords. After a few measures the drums starts playing a weird rhythm including flames, frills, and leading notes, forcing the Bass to play variations. Brass, Muted Trumpet and Synth drop in, introducing a break, changing the rhythm into a strait and square style. 
Notice the combination of the effects Stereo Panning and Echo just before the style changes in the second part.

Finally the piece unfolds itself in the third  part where the climax (Bass and other instruments play in rhythmic countermelody) is followed by a sort of conclusion. Not included in this demo!
