I’d like to share a song I made, based on the first line of an a cappella Mongolian Lullaby. Please let me know what you think.
Here is the SoundCloud link:
The original song by Urna Chahar-Tuchi can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8kv_syHuYA
This song took me 7 months. I learned a lot about micro tonality, improved my “musical ear” and it truly was a journey. A lullaby has special meaning for me as I have a sleep disorder impacting my sleep quality, I can’t take the medication that would help me as it gave me really bad side effects, my previous song (also Sonic Pi) was in part about that. So this is not your typical lullaby 
The technical bits:
Created 90% in Sonic Pi, some editing on samples and sounds in Audacity and Ardour. The vocal harmonies were done with Melodyne. Recorded and mixed in Ardour were I added a few effects as well.
The original song does not use our regulars 12-tone system, some of the notes are in between the “piano notes”. The past half year I’ve been navigating half sharps and half flats, this is the closest I got notation:
I added harmonies by using 31-EDO tuning but sticking mostly to the key of G in Orwel-9 tuning (with A=440), this maps almost perfectly to the notes Urna is singing.
Trying out some chords:

Some techniques I used in my song:
The intro: bass beat and drone. Change the sample rate and bits in live loop :bass to get the same break down effect as in my song:

Noise to chords. Use a band pass filter on white noise to let it evolve into a pitch. Add some automation to make it sound interesting. This has a very airy dream like vibe that I absolutely love.

Sonic Pi is actually quite capable of pitch shifting, here I play the voice at half speed, dropping an octave, but then the pitch_shift pulls it back up an octave. First it sounded like crap but adding pitch_dis: 0.04 fixed it.
You’ll need the sample but the forum does not allow me to upload wav files.
