The first fugal-entry of the 1st Kyrie of Bach's B-Minor Mass, played by me on a synthesized church organ and mixed with one of reinsamba's exquisite bird recordings. The bird--a robin--was shifted down an octave, doubled with itself (for a 'chorus' effect), then reverbed. A robin's song is high, so shifting it to mid-range reveals the robin's extraordinary range and virtuosity. An odd mix, but the bird's almost human warbles at this range give some lilt or poignance to the otherwise somber music. Warbly, plaintive, strange. (I performed it because a free/legal choral sample was difficult to obtain; also because the robin has far more sway against an organ than against chorus and orchestra.)

(Reinsamba's samples are:

  OMG! This is genious.
  What synthesizer did you use, the church organ sounds nice (except perhaps the reverb sounds a little odd, was there reverberation on the original bird sample?).
  10 stars anyway.
