Thanks for the kind words, SxDx and S.M. The sound source for spandril-22 is indeed a short sample of an acoustic instrument - a violin. This is pitched down and granulated, then fed through a resonant low-pass filter and some distortion. As a sound engineer (primarily) I really enjoy this process of 'composition' which consists of tweaking the parameters of various units (and the lfos controlling them) until I get a pleasing result. Generally speaking I judge a composition's success by the number of times that I want to listen back to it myself - in the case of spandril-22 it seems to be popular with other people too. Which is nice. mH http://soundcloud.com/spandril On 13 November 2012 16:40, S.
