( I just now dialed in on this thread, so if the below has already been mentioned, please forgive my doing so.) Graeme Revell (SPK) used this same concept to make a brilliant album back in 1986 entitled "The Insect Musicians". He spent around 2 years traveling over much of the planet recording various insect sounds (or "songs"), and later a full year was devoted to sampling these recordings and processing the sounds to create the sound of "new musical instruments", using the early Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument, and then afterwards writing and recording the musical compositions. The album was available on both LP and CD. It may(?) still be around, so a search would be worth a try, at least. It has long been one of my more favorite albums. Good luck in finding it. It is WORTH IT! And yes, there is also some loopage involved. :-) All the best, -Rev.Fever Portland,OR On Jul 13, 2008, at 10:38 AM, Krispen Hartung wrote: > Yes, I too found that a sort of naturalness came through the > processing.
