wind, cello SARANA
Scintillation

Unexpected union of the spectrums of wind and cello. I didn't expect this, this music simply emerged. I'm astonished.

Every partial of the sound of a wind is mapped to the nearest overtone of a single harmonic series. The fundamentals in this case are defined by a simple cello progression's the three most prominent frequencies, so this is a mix of three harmonic series.

During the recording I raise the speed of the wind sound and enable the frequency paths one by one. The melody depends on how the wind and cello sounds happen match. It's not random, but defined by the characteristics of the both sources.
