yeah i also wouldn't know where to begin. i've spent the last 7 years exploring modular synthesis, and so these type of things are what i spend my days doing! one off of the top of my head: extremely slow (like a 10 minute cycle) lfo modulation of the pitch of one oscillator, which is hard synced to...

shakers are notoriously difficult for the .mp3 algorithm to encode well. i believe the dudes on the hydrogen audio forum have a shaker track especially for testing different builds of the lame encoder.
