Nice work. I love the organic expressiveness you are able to get through the
tracking opcodes triggering other sounds...what is that almost medieval
sounding brass-like timbre?

Did you improvise this, but work out the end-goal sonority before hand? If
it wasn't pre-thought-out, it was a nicely fortuitous and satisfying ending.

Beautiful.
I totally did not understand what you meant with the green screen
synthesis, but would like to know more. Do tell.

yes, this is very nice. Could you tell us more about the source sounds for the 2nd and 3rd voices?
