Piece based on Singer sewing machine by Dave Webb. "I liked the idea of the repetitiveness of a sewing machine but as it is hand cranked, it will be a little arrhythmic. "As I don't have access to a hand cranked machine to sample, I went to freesound.org and found a great sample pack from Juskidink."
