This work is performed on the Fairlight CMI with the output first processed by a Lexicon PCM 70 MIDI-controlled digital effects processor then by a Lexicon 224XL digital reverberator. The PCM 70 is in a "resonant chord" program, the 224XL is in a concert hall simulation program. With the exception of the glockenspiel, all of the fairlight sounds were created by extensive vertical layering of complex sampled sounds. These sounds, often as many as ten layers of orchestras, electric guitars, choruses, etc., were the first material for the thinning process of the PCM 70 resonances. The six resonances are all controlled by one MIDI controller which has a different scaling factor (degree of effect) for each one's pitch center. As a result, changes in the overall pitch area of the processor also change pitch relationships of the resonances. The sounds alternate between processed and unprocessed, with the glockenspiel usually acting as a signal of impending change or return to the melodic theme.
