Comments:
The audio samples were directly extracted from Simon Mashoko's
magnificent
Hallelujah
album
, recorded by Joel Laviolette in 2001. On each sample I've tried to remove as many spectral components of other notes played at the same time as possible, which is not easy because Mashoko almost always plays octaves.
LU6'/7'
and
RU6'/7'
keys are missing altogether because Sekuru Mashoko does not use them on the entire album.
