about

This track was created by means of various software, with a Gate session recording as its main source material.

The first 15 minutes of session "160609" were converted from WAV to MIDI. The resulting MIDI file was then reconverted into WAV using five different sound fonts: (1) recorded over-driven guitar; (2) heavily distorted sine wave; (3) digitally created synth sound; (4) click; (5) recorded dry percussion. The resulting five WAV files were then layered and "horizontally" shifted to change their starting points (effectively resulting in a canon), and two of them (3 and 4) were cut into two parts.

Software used:
- Amazing MIDI (WAV to MIDI conversion);
- MuseScore (MIDI to WAV conversion);
- Audacity (initial sound editing and sound creation for sound fonts, and final mixing);
- Polyphone (sound font creation).

Instruments used:
- Morin khuur (Mongolian bowed string instrument) with various effect pedals (for the original session recording, "160609");
- Electric guitar with overdrive effect pedal (for the guitar sound font);
- Various objects for percussive sounds (for the drum sound fount).

The image shows what part of the MIDI file looks like when presented as a music score in MuseScore.
