Gathering Sounds
Before being able to start creating a new track the basic sounds are recorded from live instruments, downloaded from sample collections and created on a synthesizer. All the sounds were then collected on the same computer ready for processing and mixing.

Violin Sample
A single note was recorded on a violin, played by Miranda Dale of the Philharmonia Orchestra. The recorded note or 'sample' will be transformed in the following stages and mixed with other sounds.  

The note used in this piece is one of thousands of orchestral samples freely available for download from the Sample Library.
