Disquiet Junto Project 0632: Shear Wind
The Assignment: Make the most of the disturbance within a field recording.

I made a windy recording down by the Redondo marina.  It was a quiet day for once.  It's usually kind of noisy with human activity.  Good day for a windy field recording with just a hint of birds and sea lions.  

I converted the field recording to midi notes.  Ableton has a few options when you convert audio to midi, "harmony, melody, drums."  I chose harmony first and didn't get very many midi notes from the conversion, then chose melody and got a lot more.  I used both and even made one more sparse one.  Chime sounds seemed like a natural choice.  I put the same midi effect on all midi tracks making all the notes part of the same 5 note chord.

With the wind recording itself I faded in some resonator and phaser, and faded them out again towards the end.
