The phrase minimally viable music reminded me of listening to The Caretaker's Everywhere At The End of Time. It's a harrowing listen as over six and a half hours what starts as wistful, joyful melodies become stripped of timing, tuning and coherence. Towards the end you're disoriented by a grey sonic plaque of scratches, pops and detritus.
I took a very abbreviated route and took a simple loop from my 2hpPluck and ran it on successive passes through more and more destructive fx until almost all pitch, timing and timbre information was removed. The end result plays at the beginning before the original loop fades in and starts to be messed with.
Major thanks to Saga Söderback for having come up with this project.
