Just trial and error, trying to feel the groove and aiming for a happy tune. So it's an improvisation with a dry-run beforehand (lacking musical training I don't know what notes I whistled and have no idea on the scale :) Recorded with a cheap dynamic mic into MusE. Afterwards I fed the recorded track into an om patch for processing. The final sound you hear is both the original whistling and Om's output mixed. Both versions and the Om patch are contained in the zip archive. AFAIR it's mainly the input run through a frequency tracker used to control an oscilator and some additions to shape the sound.

Style varies a lot. Will hand out MIDI files on request. Sadly I have no single instrument tracks recorded, because it was way too much work. I would love to see some reviews there, even very critical ones. Closest to Troete should be http://www.archive.org/details/s3_12_feel_the_flow I still have 2 tracks from the win/cubase era I should add to archive.org (think will do so soon). [3 audio tapes full of music made with a Korg M-1 are waiting to be recorded, but my tape deck died (includes attempts to do techno and something punk-rock like wih that old lady.) More than 30 unfinished tracks in various states of completion.] Best, Thorsten Wilms
