I placed about 200 small brass ball-bearings (2mm diameter)on to a "half-life analogy apparatus" (which i have access to but i've never see the like using a google search. Basically its a titled wooden box with holes. The ball bearings roll down some of which fall through the holes and are collected in a beaker. The remainder are collected at the end of chute. Anyway, i just like the sound and hope someone can make use of it !i used a zealsound microphone and recorded directly into my laptop using audacity. The sound is as recorded.
This is an excerpt from slow decay, a project commissioned by istimrar 2021 - an irtijal festival initiativedrumming by nadia daou playing various percussions on a steel metal plate.
No fuss 3 stage asr (analog shift register) patch. I sample from a quantizer but still its not exact pitch. The sound start with a short decay. I will gradually increase the decay time of the three sounds.
Mono recording of a 440 hz tuning fork with resonance box, full decay time = more than 1 minute. I used the measurement microphone k4 by arnold esper placed directly in the resonance box. Recorded in the anechoic chamber for analysis and measurement purpose mostly.
Kick from my first sample session with my fresh eurorack:- envelope generator: make noise maths- oscillator: doepfer a-110-1 vco- filter: doepfer a-124 vcf5 wasp.
It becomes clear when i record with audacity and can actually see the attack and decay. I’m playing with alm pip slope. With this module you can cv control the attack and decay. As oscillator i use intellijel μvcf in self-oscillation mode. I fm-modulate this filter/oscillator with a tone from uoki-toki polivoks vcf. The semi random trigger is really two triggers connected to an or gate. Pitch is from analogue systems rs-40 (sample/hold and noise). I can listen to this for a looong time. Retro sound.
Recorded originally in m-s at the lake of "kloental", switzerland. Stones of various sizes, sliding, falling or bouncing on rocks. Dry sound, no ambient noise.
De-tuned electric guitar noise played through a heavy metal pedal and a small practice amp , recorded with a cheap condenser mic and fussed with a bit.
