This week I finally managed to finish a track – This is the result:

Everything was mixed in Scope and I used Scope effects.
I hope you enjoy it and hope that some of you decide to join in on the fun, and show people what Scope can bring to the plate
And for those interested, this was this weeks assignment:
Disquiet Junto Project 0020: App Beat
Instructions:
Deadline: Monday, May 21, at 11:59pm wherever you are.
Each Disquiet Junto project explores the role that restraints can play as a springboard to creativity and productivity. This specific project explores the inherent creative limits of a mobile app. All participants will employ the same app to complete the project.
Everyone working on this project will use two instruments. One of those instruments will be NodeBeat, an app available for iOS (iPhone, Touch, iPad), for Android, for Blackberry, and as a cross-platform (Flash) implementation. The other will be an instrument of the participant's choice; this second instrument should fall into the broadly defined category of "traditional" — i.e., a keyboard, a guitar, woodwind, percussion, etc. More on NodeBeat at nodebeat.com.
(Please note: the NodeBeat app is not free, but it is inexpensive, between 99 cents and four dollars, depending on which platform you use. Also, there is a free, though more limited, version for desktop/laptop use. And I also have 25 free codes for the iPhone/Touch and 25 for the iPad, available on a semi-first-come basis, weighted a bit for folks who have already participated in a Junto project. Shoot me an email at marc@disquiet.com if you'd like one.)
The project employs three steps:
Step 1: Create a piece of music to your liking in NodeBeat.
Step 2: Record a segment of that music no shorter than 30 seconds and no longer than four minutes.
Step 3: Use that segment as the basis for a track employing one additional instrument.
Additional techniques are certainly allowed, including editing/transformation of the NodeBeat audio and of the second instrument. However, the NodeBeat audio and the second instrument should retain some semblance of recognizability.
Length: Please keep the length of your piece to between two and four minutes.
Information: Please when posting your track on SoundCloud include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it.
Title/Tag: When adding your track to the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com, please include the term "disquiet0020-nodebeat” in the title of your track, and as a tag for your track.
Download: As always, you don’t have to set your track for download, but it would be preferable.
Linking: When you post your track, please include this information:
This track employs the app NodeBeat, created by Seth Sandler, Justin Windle, and Laurence Muller. More information on NodeBeat at nodebeat.com.
