DESCRIPTION
Every different synth patch heard here —including each drum/percussion sound— is a Diva synthesizer patch preset suggestion generated by the machine-learning system Synthscribe, and then manipulated with Arturia's Efx_Fragments. 

The chords heard at the outset of this piece use MIDI data excerpted from the ‘Chorale’ movement of Andrew Staniland’s solo guitar composition entitled ‘Mythos’ …a composition inspired by a Bach Lute suite. And the opening plucked sound is Synthscribe’s preset response to the prompt “the sound of classical nylon guitar with lots of reverb,” afterwhich enter the violin and flute–like patches which Synthscribe suggested in response to the prompt “the sound of a baroque instrument,” which in turn inspired composing in the flavour of Bach's double violin concerto. Additional prompts into Synthscribe had an electronic music-orientation (e.g. “the sound of a metal hanger” whose preset response is featured in the drums).
