correct time when using --from-time.

kennethreitz b063acf99f The Interruption: add flute + harp, sidechain 0.6, stereo improvements
Baroque flute soaring above the quartet, harp cascading arps.
Sub bass sidechain doubled for harder pump. Flute and harp both
play through the DnB interruption.

Added separate 808 kick at volume 0.8, velocity 125 — four on the floor
layered under the breakbeat. Breakbeat bumped to 0.6, sub bass to 0.7.
Bar 33 should now feel like a wall hitting you.

kennethreitz 5f6d930bc0 Track 8: The Interruption — string quartet ambushed by drum & bass
D minor, 85 BPM (170 feel when DnB hits). Pure classical string quartet
for 32 bars — violin 1 melody, violin 2 harmony, viola chords, cello bass.
Bar 33: breakbeat SLAMS in with sub bass and reese. Strings keep playing
like nothing happened. Beat dissolves, strings win, play out alone.
