Modular Synthesizer Patches of Interest:
- Tomita's Whistle
- Modular "Choir"
- "Shattering Ice"
- "Arctic Wind" (Not Pictured; various noise with automated, randomized filter sweeps)
- "Noise Sequence"
- Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Basses (recorded 22 violin/viola parts, 14 Cello parts, and 10 Double Bass parts; violin/viola parts were duplicated via copy & paste for a total of 44). The parts were run through analog delay and spring reverb, which adds saturation to the sound creating natural sounding noise akin to bows/resin at the height of the envelopes.
