Here's another electro-impro. Things are madly tight at the moment, so I'm only really able to throw ideas together for the time being. That being said, it's not a bad process to go through, just seeing which sounds hang together and playing around with different types of processing.
In this case, I've tried to find different synth patches that respond to different elements of the improvised MIDI track, which has been copied without editing. I've used a little delay to bind across the tempo (using a tempo-defined delay) and have quantised to a tempo that wasn't actually played, giving an odd disparity between the rhythm loop and the other material. I thought I'd try some heavily effected flute on here, just for fun. The idea works after a fashion but it would need some work to get it sounding more at home with the rest of the track.
One thing I am paying attention to at the moment is the sonic spectrum; so trying to find sounds that compliment without overpowering one another. In this case, I'd probably want to go back and apply some EQ to the bass and at least one of the synth parts to prevent them bleeding into one-another's domain.
