about

Variations on the Amen Break re-timed by moving the warp markers around in Ableton Live, along with some samples of Star Trek.

You are hearing:
The original break
The break quantized to the closest sixteenth note
The break quantized to the closest eighth note
The break quantized to the closest quarter note
The break quantized to the closest eighth note triplet
The first bar stretched (slowed down) a little, the second bar squeezed (sped up) a little, the third bar stretched a little, the fourth bar squeezed a little
The first bar squeezed a little, the second bar stretched a little, the third bar squeezed a little, the fourth bar stretched a little
Alternately stretching and squeezing every half note
Alternately stretching and squeezing every quarter note
Alternately stretching and squeezing every eighth note, which creates a cool shuffle feel
Alternately squeezing and stretching every eighth note, which creates a kind of "inverse shuffle"
The break gradually slowing down to a halt (I tried to do this with warp markers but ultimately cheated and automated the session tempo instead)
