Last week was spent in the hospital collecting sound samples of my son's birth. This piece captures the story:
[list]
[*]Making it through birth involves a lot of breath control, so there are wind instruments representing both mother and son[/*]
[*]Labor started while having Japanese food, so the piece starts with a Japanese woodwind[/*]
[*]The opening notes spell my son's name if the alphabet were continued up the keyboard (H -> A, I -> B, etc)[/*]
[*]The hospital had lots of machines that go Bing, represented by the IDM drum sounds and other synth-breath sounds[/*]
[*]My wife loves Soul, so that came up to calm her down as contractions intensified[/*]
[*]The rest is self explanatory - birth, baby, rejoicing[/*]

Congratulations and cool story. The soul horns came as a neat surprise, even though you did mention soul in the description. Nice track!
Congratulations! Great news, and a fine juxtaposition between the field recordings and soul samples!
Nice story! I like how you decomposed the song.
It really reflects the events you mentioned.
CONGRATS! and what a take
