About the Series

AMENBREAK began as a chain of live-coding experiments, hardware instruments, and increasingly unruly playhead algorithms. This blog opens the hood. Each post will focus on one musical idea: slicing, sequencing, performance, MIDI, pitch preservation, tunnel jumps, happy accidents, and whatever the BREAK knob destroys next.

The goal is simple: explain what the tool is doing, show how I actually use it, and leave you with a technique you can steal immediately.
