We’re always filled with glee when we come across a new project from Mitxela, and this project resulting in a quartet of slide whistles did not disappoint.
Arranging music for the slide whistles is quite labour-intensive. The page for the original robot slide whistle goes into some detail about this, with the limited articulation, enforced portamento, and 1½ octave range. In addition to the CAL script for fixing the staccato, I created a slide whistle emulator using WebMIDI and javascript. You can experience that emulator here. It was originally written to prepare music for the multi-tracked performances I did when filming the first whistle.
