Bad Henkings

Listen to Bad Henkings
This song is a collaboration among Alister Flint, Chris Vaisvil and me.
The title is an anagram but I will not reveal the source.
The image has some obscure reference to the song, so cryptic I forgot about that.
Chris posted an initial file that I mangled beyond recognition with Metasynth, Alister disfigured it even more adding effects, drums, percussions.
I then added the trumpet part (thanks to Camel Audio Alchemy) that, of course, uses the Carlos Gamma tuning system. Chris’s file was microtonal too but using a different tuning system (its name has something to do with the title so I will not tell you anything about it). Alister used one more tuning system so the tune is definitely poly-microtonal! Al then added voices so that the final piece sounds like a band from some unknown planet playing at a Martian cosmodrome while aliens wait to embark for their galactic journeys.
I hope you enjoy the trip!
