Fun challenge this week and feeling refreshed after my holiday, straight away I thought of filters and envelopes. I first tried different filters (LPF, BPF and HPF) and square envelopes, but I wasn't happy with the results. So I just used BPFs with different frequencies and Q values panned and changed the envelope to a sine shape. This combination gave me the removal I was looking for. This piece was completely carried out using SuperCollider and it allows me to an random elements in I can not control (I used audacity to convert the file to aiff form mp3 and normalise the track).
