Very nice! Excellent use of 'old-fashioned' techniques. Chopping and processing samples with simple means and mostly DAW native plug-ins. Very well explained.
It made me think of Hugh Le Caine's: Dripsody (1955). He used one sample of the sound of a splash of a drop of water and turned it into a IMHO listenable form of 'musique concrète'.
All by tape manipulation. How he managed to do it still resembles current procedures. (slicing, pitch shifting, change the envelopes)

But not a 'rock/edm/sound' track of course.

That’s a mighty comparison. Haven’t heard anyone mention Le Caine since music school. (My school was very avant garde and really didn’t like film music). It’s good to show the old school way of doing things because there’s so much more we can do with simple tools than people realize.
