Dream lab · analysis-driven note-slice sampler

Note Mirror

Play a keyboard over Karel's own recording — every key sounds his actual recorded note nearest that pitch, sliced live from the take, so he re-performs his own notes in a new order. A Scriabin color organ blooms each pitch class in its own hue.

Press Play to load the track, start the soft bed, and enable your MIDI keyboard (or the computer keys).
