Inky Fingers

The repeating bassline is either stolen from or inspired by a performance by Wet Ink Ensemble that I was watching last night (thus the name). It got stuck in my head so hard that I had to stop the livestream and start working on this instead.

I really love this. The ramshackle angularity of the dissonance, with the parts that drift off pitch adding to the woozy mix. Did you just use the mod wheel as a whammy bar, or did you use some other way to play with microtonal moments?

I drew the whammy directly into the automation track in the DAW. (The DAW is GarageBand, DAW seems like too fancy a term for GarageBand!)
