Nice piece of work. I like the surface, the transparency, and the spaces.

Agreed, nice timbres and spaces, and it's remarkably "instrumental" I
think, as if you were writing for acoustic instruments.

Thanks for listening and for the comments. Regarding the piece:

I created a percussion track in a MIDI sequencer, based on throws of 
dice (Wurfelspiel). I edited the track, then recorded it as a WAV file. 
I time-stretched that file with rubberband and used the stretched WAV in 
AVSynthesis. The other instrumental parts are from a trio for flute, 
horn, and bassoon, also originally a brief MIDI sequence and similarly 
treated. I've been experimenting with rubberband and wanted to do 
something with those tracks.

AVSynthesis's role in this piece is primarily as mixer and processor. 
The same waveguide filter is applied to both tracks, but with different 
envelope characteristics. Ditto for the reverb. The soundfile pan 
controls and the filters are continuously modulated, an essential aspect 
of the overall sound.

Btw, all the original sounds are from the 8mbgmsfx.sf2 soundfont, I 
think it's from the disc Creative packaged with the SoundBlaster Live. I 
was indeed writing for "acoustic instruments" of a sort. :)

Best,

dp
