karinac – Assignment 2: Arrival

For this assignment, I wanted to manipulate a piece that I really loved – Arrival of the Birds by The Cinematic Orchestra.

I originally just copied the track and added multiple time delays to generate the time shift. After doing so, I realized I wanted to change it more, so I added a pitch shift to 2 of the selective track delays to create this celestial effect.

This was the ending result:

I think the effect that the song gave was pretty neat. I think if someone were to use this code, I’d advise them to stay away from using songs with a lot of un-pitched percussion instruments. I originally used a different song, but the drum beats and the constant hitting of the hi-hat stuck out a lot through the time shift manipulation.
