[microsound] Insect Wing

[Dara Shayda]

A microscope photo of an insect wing was sonified by MetaSynth.

Counter-point style to train the ear with the melodies extracted from the hair-like structures of the wing surface. Output of MetaSynth then midi-fied via Melodyne with Garageband instrumentation:

Melodyne polyphonic midi-fication produce a beautiful Upright Jazz Bass solo:

Straight output of image sonification with human voice and percussion synths produce a dance tune:

Halfway thru the dance tune, there is a sudden change in tune that is due to the fact that the human voice part was mirror reflected against the x-axis.
