Returning to the material created in the Pee Wee Ellis sax recording session was the name of today's pact game, embodied in a good sit down with the raw takes from 'Geometry4U' to give it all an edit.

When I recorded Pee Wee for this track I instructed him to play short riffs, which comprise the 'answers' of a question-and-answer section, in which the questions are 'asked' by my geometry guy. Rather than confine Pee Wee to play in specific sections, I set the recording to loop and told him to play as he wanted.

The result was several unsynched takes of riffs, and that is the material I started with today. I began by going through the takes and slicing them into chunks, keeping related phrases together. This was followed by a second pass, which I approached with a more critical musical ear, deleting unsuitable phrases and top-and-tailing the rest.

This resulted in 52 individual phrases. The next step will be to synch those in with the backing audio and also define the structure of the unique process: I need eight options for this process, so some way of translating 52 to 8 is required.
