Unstable clicktrack

Composition by Growth Spert. 

"I manipulated the time and pitch, layered copies of the original recording out of time with each other, as well as added echo, reverb, and delay to provide a more creative version of a click track that is meant to provide random moments of inspiration for original, creative compositions when playing instruments alongside it as opposed to playing alongside a perfectly quantized click track that results in composing songs that sound like everyone else who is playing alongside a perfectly quantized click track. 

"The original recording inspired this process because the click clack balls speed up and slow down unpredictably in this recording and in my mind that opens up the potential for playing music in multiple timings."
