Lyrebird is a program I designed in Max/MSP. It's purpose is to take sound input from the user and manipulate it into a musical composition in real-time. This is an example of just that.

Lyrebird at work

This track is featured on the Berklee EP CD 2014. All the instruments (sans the cello and guitar) were created out of 3 samples: the harmonics of an acoustic guitar, a boiling tea kettle, a cricket chirp.

I put this funky little ditty together in Logic. The only instruments that are "out-of-the-box" are the guitars that were DI'd. Nothing fancy production wise... just sweet, sweet jams.
