A bit more of the steel drum melody

Each note has a small glissando applied to it now, either up by a 17:16 or down by a 15:16. Just enough to not notice too much.

Upsampling

Upsampling is the deliberate munchinization of a sample. In this excerpt, I've upsampled the bent wire instrument and it sounds more like a steel drum.

Add the Balloon Drum Chorus

This version adds the balloon drums and a very wet spring modified by a slow glissando, up or down or both. The drums are samples from a 4' long 4" sewer pipe with a balloon membrane. I take the sample up a few octaves, add five or six hits for every note at different octaves, separate the hits by a few milliseconds, and change the amplitude in different ways. The balloon drum is the only tuned instrument in the piece so far. I had to dump the oboe.

Oh boy the Oboe

Need something very high for the melody. Not set on the Oboe, maybe a piccolo.

13 beats to a measure that is. Rising each measure by the 53rd root of 2.

Spring at hand

Samples of an instrument made from bent piano wire, plucked with the fingers, amplified with a hand wound guitar type pickup. Sounds a bit like a steel drum in this version.
