	This piece was performed with a warped frequency vocoder using a percussion loop for the modulation source. The frequency warping allows various subbands of the modulation to affect entirely different subbands of the carrier.
	Story Behind the Song An experiment in creative vocoding. This piece was performed using a Virus B as the carrier with one patch for the bass drone and a pad for the treble. I constructed a stereo linked dual 44-bank vocoder with frequency warping on both the carrier and the modulation source. The vocoder was constructed and operated on a Kyma workstation with 12 DSP's. Subsequent processing uses a crossover delay line with left and right channels set in the approximate ratio of 3:2, and not in step with the musical tempo. This helps create some ambiguity. A gentle phaser was also applied using a 10 second sweep. Finally, the sounds were compressed to bring the harmony in level with the percussive sounds. Mixing and finalizing was done on a PC with CoolEdit/Pro.
