I thought that was interesting! I'm curious how much of the
melody was already contained in the samples versus created by you?
Anyway, it seems you do have some idea of what you're doing.
As for "this genre," there's such a wide diversity in electronic music that there are no rules. I have an old album of electronic music--
which someone posted to YouTube-- and as far as I'm concerned it's just random crap with no musicality or composition to it; I never could stand to listen to more than a few minutes of it without taking it off and putting on something better. I'll take
Wendy Carlos' "Timesteps" over that any day!
