I do question the hashtag of "jazz" you've put on the track. But off the top of my head, I can't think of the right tag.
How did you create the music?
Fred, I'm glad you asked that. "Sensu stricto" it really is not jazz. Dexter Gordon once said: "jazz is a beautiful word. I love it". And, instinctively, I just followed what he said, and perhaps that is why I tagged it as "jazz". But Fred, why does jazz has to sound like it is full of chaos. It seems that in modern times, libertarian and chaotic times in which we live, things extravasated the limits regarding the meaning of this kind of music. In current times, in fact, what is Jazz? Ok! The vast majority of music categorized as jazz is built on harmonic and rhythmic patterns that you can learn to hear, that is fine. But there is more to it, Alexander Gelfand wrote an interesting article about the current situation of this kind of rhythm in the current music scene, that is very interesting to read.
Life After the Death of Jazz

How did I do? Well, it was very simple, I used the technique known by many, since 1936, when Edgard Varèse experimented with records, playing them backwards, and at varying speeds. The Beetles and many others used it successfully. I just did an audio manipulation, reversing it and stretching it. Not all music manipulated this way results in a succession of well-structured agreable sounds (Most are rubbish). It takes, a lot of patience and time to get a successful sound. I consider them songs, whose outline, the underneath, the initial layer, had a rhythmic, harmonic and melodic human made foundation.
In both cases (Abstraction of a city and The Hunt), I could imagine an association, which pleased me, that's why I posted them.
PS.: Obviously, the examples cited by Gary, are much higher in knowledge and musical creation, than these mere experiments.
Thank you
