Thanks, Panu!

Thanks, Kara. I had cool sounds to work with here—offbeat and useful and BY, just like I like them.

The orchestration was very simple here, so I’m glad a little emotion crept in.

Thanks!

I used two samples in Binary Bookends to make the melody, sampling each as a synthesizer patch in a little software synthesizer I like. I used a section of secdub.wav which comprised one tone of a few seconds’ length, and one section of ultradub.wav which was very short indeed, really more a capture of its tone than a full section. Then I used modified versions of all the samples in the set as a kind of alternative to percussion, so that the whole would have the whole benefit of the sample pack, and not just a snip here and a snip there.

Finding parting poems was harder than I thought it would be, given that 19th C. poetry has so many parting verses. But the Bronte poem, with a different inflection to a “parting”, seemed to work.

wow, that sounds very complicated and above my head. but respect to you my friend! :)

Really, things like this, not-ambient but not-much-else, is why I created the term :)
