Description
Strange sounds in pleasing patterns. Inspired by contemporary indie electronica and the stochastic flow of springwater.

Doesn't really fit the theme much at all, and I heavily disagree with people praising the mix. It's quite impulsive between the L/R channels. While each bit and piece does sound nice, the actually panning is really aggressive and it doesn't work in the tracks favor for a jam like this. 

While I think the overall track is cool and well thought out, I think it's a little to much for the sake of being to much and ends up overshooting the task this Jam handed out. 

Nice work either way.

Indeed you did take this to the next level. I listened this morning with my good headphones (and not messed up by the stream)

Excellently mixed, the mix is so cohesive and interesting.

As I mentioned last night, on second listening I still want to hear a little more of these elements come together into something more cohesive, precisely because I feel like I can hear where it's going.

I think my only other feedback is knowing your submission to the last Imagination jam, many of the techniques and elements you did here are the same as what you did before.

Heh... as for symbolism and the "stochastic" nature of water, stochasticity is essentially just the mathematical term for chaos, a word that exists to help refer to the mathematical theory of chaos. But, it is simply *chaos!* 

I think you'll find this interesting, this composition from 1737:

So, when I say I want to also hear the order of the water, or the order of what you're composing to, this is what I mean! Heh. There's no escaping chaos and order in music, life, or anything. You're always creating for both, and the question is what the ratio of the two is, and I think in the ultimate sense, we can't perceive the whole extent of that in anything.

That said, chaos creates new order, and order creates the platform for productive chaos.

Another thought... A real challenge would be to try to break tonality and progression a little more and *then* have it reunite into something that is fully cohesive.

Anyways, great work!

Cool stuff as always! Feeling that i need to actually learn sound design since i always get a bit jealous listening to your submissions 😂.
