There's no audio as per the article no one has played it yet. Just reading the sheet music, though, I don't know that it's actually playable or that if it's all within the human range of hearing.

I'm pretty sure, since you'll need 56va or more type notations to get it back onto the treble clef, where "8va" indicates play 1 octave higher than notated, that many/most of the notes will be above 18kHz. Before my Dad lost my flute, i used to be pretty good at reading notation in the 2 octaves above middle C range, but that hurts my eyes. Maybe you could revoice all the chords and we can figure out harmonic structure

Correct - as the article demonstrated, we achieved rather buggy results in the short time we had available to us. We're continuing to work on the project and have plans to get the piece performed for LeedsDataMill by a real brass band. I'm guessing the performance will be blogged and I'll cross post it to HN when it's published.
