Samples are used in:

 

Tools I Used

A party favor horn
Sawcutter 2.0 softsynth
Slicer 1.0 sample slicer

Samples I Used

The listed samples, plus a party favor sample I created myself.

Process

I sequenced the party favor in Sawcutter to create a melody, and then sliced it up in Slicer. I then added the various OLPC sample, shifting pitch and time and cutting them to fit my purposes.The percussion at the beginning is a looped knife slicing.

Other Notes

My goal when I began to write this song was to use a single abrasive note from a party favor horn to create something new and distinct. My end result was to bring to mind a recent incident that sparked my concern.
