I laid DD’s samples end to end and made them into a wav file in Audacity. This was then explored using my demo copy of The Mangle (using a bit more restraint than I usually display). The result was cut up and rearranged over several drones created from the cello sample, with some reverb added and some other fiddling with track lengths and channels. A few glitches were cleaned up and some extra bits from the mangle remixed and sprinkled over the beginning and end sections.

I doubt that the end result is still in C, and probably has strayed into many other keys, hence the title.

The Assignment: Make music with 10 acoustic instrument samples all in a shared key.

Step 1: This week’s project is based on a great “construction kit” of WAV files in the key of C recorded for us by Disquiet Junto member Daniel Díaz.

Step 2: Listen through the tracks, which include piano, two electric guitars, melodica, bowed upright bass, and other instruments.

Step 3: Record your own track employing the source audio.

Trawling through the hard drives is turning up a lot of unpublished stuff, like this one from 2015.

I've posted a new album at https://tuonela.bandcamp.com/album/borrowed-reflections, a few recent-ish Soundcloud tracks and a couple of 40 minute monsters which are released elsewhere. This track is an edit of one of those.
