Things seem to be moving forward with the music I'm working on at the moment.

I had been trying to figure out how to create a low bass drone a bit like the one in NIN's "Something I Can Never Have". I was playing with some samples of rubbed glass and found that you get something really nice if you passed them through a waveshaper and then a low pass filter...

I was also experimenting with different ways to manipulate bell samples and what's worked so far for this piece has been using the spectral delay from RTCmix, the GrainStream effect from Hipno, and morphing bells together with the babbling of overlaid voices...
