Sound of a rubik's cube (you know, this mechanical puzzle). Needed it for a project. Couldn't find the sound anywhere. So i recorded it. Feel free to use it. No need for any kind of attribution. Recorded on with a neat king bee microphone and a tascam dr60-d mkii recorder.
It's a light spinning top that you have to magnet to its launcher. It must then be rotated around the base of the launcher before ejecting it. When it spin, it lights up. Recorded with olympus ls-p4 onboard microphones.
Inspired by a strange japanese number station i heard around 2012. I generated white noise, recorded an old toy, and found some public domain static and put it all together in this extremely eerie piece. It gets even creepier if you lower the pitch.
Half-assed multisampling of highly damaged toy piano in my grandmother's attic. One strike of each key, then some random hits and glissandos. Recorded with a sony pcm-d50.
An acrylic transparent tower is stuffed with toy devices that play musical instruments. Kids gather around it. A child declares a sign of pee. Recorded at a shopping mall in kobe on 29 dec, 2006. Korg mr-1.
Buzzing drone noise made by a toddler's toy which was malfunctioning due to low batteries. I modulated the sound by moving the mic around the toy and covering / uncovering it with a bowl during recording.
I decided to tinker around on an old kid's practice first act piano. There are metal rods inside that are struck, and produce a plink/ringing sound. It is also out of tune, which makes it wonderful for producing an eerie feeling when played in a minor key.
I've adopted a second large dog. He loves treats, and since he's a rail he gets lots of them. So big-dog walks up, just as i've turned on my recorder, and he sniffs the microphone. Perfect.
The very famous tak bat -that requires to jump out of the bed before 6 am to recorded it- its the daily ritual of monks receiving alms from the natives. Monks retribute the food they receive with a particular prayer. Not edited -so you heard my photo camera shooting. . . And the old zoom ii hitting here and there.
