Yes, it is just one self-contained AM patch, though my dual-core 2.4 GHz MacBook with 4GB RAM can't render it in real time. Once rendered, all I did for mastering was a tiny bit of compression and normalization.
I really appreciate how polyrhythms are such a simple method of generating rhythmic complexity with a good blend of repetition and unpredictability. This track has one drum machine with a three-bar phrase in 5/4, another has a three-bar 9/8 pattern, still another in 5+7+9/8 (or something) and another is 7 bars of 5/8. I think one other part is in 11/8, maybe three bars. Oh, and I think the bassline is two bars of 6/4! And all these parts repeat over and over, never (or at least very very rarely) lining up, creating a constantly shifting texture of unpredictable repetition.
I don't know how I could have made this track without the polyrhythmic capabilities of AM. Thanks for that, Ross.
yes,
this is one of those times when the potential of an instrument is used at its best: to offer a meaningful musical result and not a cold and lifeless exploration of its possibilities...
Very nice Phil.
How did you make it? Is it a single AM patch?
Thank you Ross!

Great to hear AudioMulch poly-rhythmic time signatures in use :) It took a long time to implement.

I like it
Thank you!

Made with an older version of AM......
Thanks! Glad you like. I commented on the SC track you linked to. Nice piece. Was this pre-2.x?
@phil: thanks! responded to the comment. Yes it was pre AM2.0...
