Here's one I think some folks might of heard before but, for those that haven't I think a listen is well worth the time.

I think it was a small cylindrical can for Dorset Shortbread, maybe 6 inches tall. I used a SignalFlex guitar tuner pickup to record a track onto my old Boomerang. I played very slowly at the high speed setting and bounced it to the PS02. Then I dropped the Boomerang down to lo-speed setting for a very low pitch and bounced that to the PS02. I took the 2 tracks from the PS02 and put them on my computer. The lowered pitch track was kept whole. The normal track was then pitched upwards using software. Because I had played so slowly, the pitch could raise without the sound bunching up into chipmunkville. Then I offset the tracks and faded one in while fading one out. What I like is that it is just one track but it sounds like different tracks. It made me think of the very low tones mixed with the delicate high harmonics of Tibetan chanting, hence the title - Dalai. cheers BobC www.cdbaby.com/rpcollier http://trundlebox.iuma.com http://brokenaxe.iuma.com
