query re your experience with Melodyne

["Matt Rogalsky"]

Dear Bernie Krause

I wondered if you could comment on the potential for Melodyne to allow extr=
action of different distinct sound elements within a mono environmental rec=
ording.

I am considering tackling a project that would be a surround mix from a mon=
ophonic album released in the 1950s. Perhaps you would know it: =93A Day In=
 Algonquin Park,=94 released in 1955 by William WH Gunn, the Canadian ecolo=
gist and field recordist.

By the way, if you know about Gunn and his =92Sounds of Nature=92 LP series=
, I would be interested to learn your opinion of his work! My partner Laura=
 J Cameron and I have a paper coming out in the journal =91Organised Sound=
=92 that argues his position should be better known as part of the (pre-)hi=
story of soundscape composition.

Thanks very much,
Matt Rogalsky
