interesting ... I took a similar approach

Beautiful and eerie - like the soundtrack to a post apocalyptic landscape...

Very interesting stuff. It sounds really convincing.

Disquiet Junto Project 0222: Bounded Foundation
The Assignment: Compose a piece for contemporary dance — with a “soft top” and a “shifting bottom.”

This track grew out of the project ‘Breath Dance’ and is based largely on samples of my voice. 

For the top level I recorded a variety of utterances and played short slices with Borderlands and Samplr creating cloud-like, granular clusters.  In Samplr I used the Bow tool to create very short slices of sound moving them around quickly. 

I included some of the original voice samples (played in Samplr) and distributed them throughout the track. They sound haunting, like ghosts inhabiting the piece.

The shifting bottom and some of the longer sustained pitches were created with samples of a pitch pipe played in Samplr using the Bow and Tape+Scratch tools. 

It ended up sounding very dark and mysterious. There is a vague, recurring semi-tone interval (minor sixth) that gives it a haunting quality.
