Calibration

Starting point: I made a recording of an orchestra tuning.

Great idea, love the sound.

Like dipping a toe into the infinite. Flawlessly executed heart

Now, I remember when I was a violinplayer in an orchestra, it was a crazy mess while everyone was tuning their instruments, but this is beautiful. Like those days with an overdose of LORAZEPAM.

I played cello in orchestras throughout high school and college and I always wanted to record the tuning up part, but I think this is better than what I might have gotten.  Love the vast sound and somehow does seem a bit less chaotic than what I recall.

Amazing- this is really a perfect ambient track!

Cheers, I was lucky enough to be able to sit in on some rehearsals and make some recordings a few years ago.

Heh, thank you. I certainly zoned in on certain parts of the recording and cut out the rest. Glad you like it.

Appreciate it, an orchestra tuning up is one of my favourite sounds, I felt lucky to have the chance to make the recording. There were certainly some more chaotic moments that I didn't include.
