Flute with the attacks cut off sounds a lot like sine waves generated by a 'puter. But it ain't. Most of the compositional decisions made (after making samples) with www.random.org.
My friend Ben made an awesome hacked electronic duck (yes, that's right, a duck) which I wanted to use...but I haven't figured out how to get it to work yet....
Very nice! Sounds a bit like wind chimes. In addition to the timbre, I also like the choice of non 12-TET pitches.
