This is a 3D mix, so best listened to on headphones.
<br>
<br>
Composition: Jeanette C.
<br>
Lyrics and vocals: Benjamin Michael & Jeanette C.
<br>
3D mixing and production: Jeanette C.
<br>
Saxophones and video: Benjamin Michael (Images courtesey of
pixbarbay)

The song was recorded in the usual way. Tracks were processed in
Nama with my favourite LADSPA and LV2 plugins. Then every
clean/source track and reverb/delay send was loaded into Csound to
place it in a virtual 3D space, using HRTF (Head related transfer
function) with a modelled room.
<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the resultant mix is not as much 3D as I would have
wanted to, but it was a great learning experience and Benjamin's
spirited contributions breathed life and energy into the song. I
ended up with more than 100 tracks having to go through Csound.
<br>
<br>
First lessons: don't start that big! Place groups of sounds in a
few predetermined spots. Don't move too many sounds. Define a 3D
sonic space before hand and work out the interaction between
artificial reverb effects and the "natural" room reverb.
<br>
<br>
It was a hugely enjoyable project, challenges and all. Thanks to
Benjamin for his invaluable collaboration!
<br>
<br>
Best wishes,
<br>
<br>
Jeanette

<p><font face="Liberation Serif">That's really nice. Great
instrument sounds. Your voice is nice in there, compliments
Benjamin's nicely. And the 3D comes through. I wonder how it
would sound in an ambisonic field?</font></p>
