My first original song is about aircraft 6205, the last operational Skyhawk in the Royal NZ Air Force. Its final flight should have been routine, but it wasn't! You can read my short story about the flight at https://www.davebstevens.com/last-skyhawk. And I've explained the radio messages here: https://www.davebstevens.com/last-skyhawk-song

The Last Skyhawk

I took a track I made for an ixi Music Patreon challenge and replaced all the instruments with Cherry Audio's Sines.

Recordings of the BART, recorded in San Francisco's Powell Street Station, manipulated with AudioThing's Noises, then modulated repeatedly using Cableguys' Shaperbox. All the Shaperbox modulations used  the barcode from a packet of Walker's Shortbread Fingers to define the gates. These, depending on the effect, are then stretched between 1/16 and 32 bars.
