Composition 3- Orchestral Concrete Piece

The 3rd composition I am working on is similar to the piano concrete pieces in as much as that it uses the same basic formula to create it.  I have taken a recording of Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Finale and cut it into musical and non-musical phrases.  These phrases were manipulated any number of times as desired.  The clips have been edited / manipulated twice so far.  The manipulations are as follows:

The random number generator generated the sequence in which the sound clips must go. The results are as shown on the screenshot below. Please click for a larger view.




Below is a screenshot of the Cubase project as it was when the sound clips were inserted in the sequence that the random number generator determined. (Please click on the picture for a larger view.)


The next picture shows the way the piece was arranged after auditioning the sounds, but it stills keeps the order determined by the random number generator.





Below is an audio clip of the completed piece as arranged.
