i like your process on tis a lot. great walking sound. nice low end.

This is very very cool - so much movement and expression!

I used the phrase "Please Stay on Paths Fragile Vegetation" as a way to build a system of notes based on each letter of each word.  There's 6 small "movements" in the piece - one for each word.  In addition, I recorded a short walk through the woods just after a snow fall.  I was trying to stay off of the vegetation, but had to cross several small piles of sticks that gave way under foot.  There is a guided walking meditation obscured underneath some of the notes.  This track was intended for inclusion in the Disquiet Junto Project #0528 - Landscape Architecture.

Stay On Paths - Disquiet0528

A late entry to this week's Disquiet Junto prompt, which was, "Think about the concept of creating an unobtrusive path through the musical equivalent of fragile vegetation."

The idea of going left and right on a path made me think of panning left and right in the stereo field, so I made that the basis of this one. I improvised a melody on my horn that tried to simulate someone taking a winding path (no leaps, only steps...get it?).

I attempted to use Anarchy Sound Software's "Spectral Autopan" plug-in to move the baritone horn from left to right as it went up and down its tonal range. I'm not quite sure it worked (or maybe it did and it's very subtle?)

The musical flora was created by some samples of Delawarean nighttime and morningtime soundscapes.

So, mixed success. I like the idea of solo baritone horn accompanied by "the musical equivalent of fragile vegetation," but I'd like to further develop the technique of moving through the stereo field based on the pitches being played.
