No guitars were hurt in the making of this track!
I have a sample pack called "Abstract Beats" by Code Sounds. They are 4 bar drum/percussion/noise bits that I'm using as a basis for all my tracks. A preview of the pack is available here:

My eyes briefly merged your Liner Notes and I definitely processed "no sausages were hurt in the making of this track." :-)
It's genuinely impressive how you managed to make a programmatic effect so viscerally felt in the soundscape. I'm fairly non-expert in synth mixing and production, but from the standpoint of arranging and orchestration, you have done an impeccable job keeping voices clearly apart in pitch range and rhythmic motion, so that no sounds are really "competing" with each other to be heard. Is it weird that I'm actually kinda hungry for a sausage now?

Brilliant. I am in awe of how you've constructed an aural sausage factory and polished it to a greasy sheen, flecked with bits of fat and gristle. Truly spectacular. A+

Wild and infectious. The beat keeps pounding, and then you bring in all the weirdness and craziness and squishiness and other sounds.

These sounds are impactful - crunchy in a very perfect way for my ears.
That agitated square lead you bring in panned to the right...love it.
This whole thing paints a very clear picture of sausage being made, indeed in the sausage factory.
The repeated high-pitched synth panned to the right that mimics the rhythm of the push-pull beat (love the drum sounds) is the machinery, chugging along and churning out meat product.
All automated with little robots at each station moving in unison to this rhythm...THEY ARE the rhythm.
And the lead you play and the way you play it makes me think of one of the robots having sentience, and its them complaining and lamenting about doing the same thing day after day, and not even being able to eat or taste the sausage they make every day all day.

This is crazy fun! It sounds like a sausage factory in the beginning with the squishy filling of sausage casings and then gets even more funky industrial and awesome! I have some vintage photos from the Oscar Mayer plant that used to be in Madison making wieners and this track makes me think of those photos. Love the layers here!

Okay, that does sound like sausage making. Glad I already ate breakfast...
@treble Feb 2022
I'm glad no guitars were hurt. :-) I LOVE the abstract beats! I think it's amazing that you were able to create this from a prompt about sausages. It does sound like what I imagine sausage creation sounds like. Great job!

One of those songs sounds rather like the noise you (might) make post sausage eating...
Like how it builds. I can picture some nouveau chef cooking programme using this as the chef is constructing the final presentation !
