SOUND LIBRARY
Music students from the University of Edinburgh created some amazing music with the collections, including the violin. This project under Dr. Martin Parker is called Archive*2³.
Archive*2³ attempts to showcase a range of unique instruments from the collection at St Cecilia's Hall by sequencing and processing recorded samples, manipulating them to produce sound beyond their physical capabilities.
On this page, you can listen to one of the students' composition. His name is Leo, who writes:
​
"The textures that appear throughout the piece pay homage to the acoustic properties of the instruments, whilst simultaneously showcasing their versatility when combined with modern production practises. There is no synthesis in this piece, only processing the many hundreds of recorded sounds we gathered from these instruments".
