mine was the result of mentally improvising over one of my phone's alarm tones a couple of years ago and getting the improvisation stuck in my head

I made mine in Reason. IT was a lot of fun to make because for once I wasn't agonising over making 'mistakes', I was just throwing in whatever I could and seeing what stuck. I deliberately cranked up the compression on pretty much everything - especially the drums- which goes against pretty much all my principles, but whatevs, I had to work quickly. Got a chance to experiment with fx modules and muck about with those. The acoustic sounds you can hear are taken from an improvised recording session in my room - our drummer tapped a beat out on my desk while the bassist started making these inhuman bizarre squealing and grunting noises which sounded great through headphones with mounds of echo feeding back, but utterly ridiculous to the onlooker.

Thanks, sarahel, for coming through at the last minute. Sorry to have to drop out. Hoping life returns to normal soon and I can sit down and listen to this thing.

Still not heard the real thing.

(wistfully) wonder if RDJ's heard this one?
