Bird Polyphony  (Naviarhaiku 495)

This track is based quite literally on the text from the haiku... I used a dawn chorus recording I made earlier this year during springtime and gave it 4 stems in the partition. The top is the normal recording, then after a little time the 2nd stem comes in, with the same birds song pitched down. Then follow stems 3 and 4 later on, each more pitched down to complete treble, alto, tenor and bass. 
What originally sounded like a crisp dawn chorus here in the woods, slowly sounds like a deep Jurassic jungle...

Duuster - Dawn chorus scales (Haiku-495)

Created on iPad with AUM and several AUv3 synths and effects.
Mixed in Cubase 12, mastered with Ozone 10.
