Example of flats in music on piano. An A, then A♭.  This image was created with Audacity.

Too many effects from audacity produced this wish wash thingy.

A sample that was made completely by accident. I was recording outside my local park and trying to capture the bird calls (with a semi-successful effort - too much motorway noise is a bit of a bummer) one morning and aimed my uchó pro at the ground as i stood on a sludgey leaves and wet sticks with the input too high - overdriving it but also somehow making a gore sound effect. When i imported it to reaper, time-shifting it - i spotted the unique flavor of crunchiness and wetness it gave.

Was playing with my modular. I had to rush away from the synth. By accident i happened to record 22 minutes. I give you 5 minutes of that accidental recording.

Rustling, footsteps maybe, accidentally recorded with smartphone.

Was experimenting with involving an adsr in sequencing when this beat suddenly appeared. Had to record it. Saved it in a low resolution mp3 format just to get that old mp3 sound. Meaningless. . . That's what it all about.

This is a noise i found while listening to a recorded track that i thought sounded interesting, so i worked with it for a bit, eliminated all the extraneous noise, and amplified it to max volume without (unwanted) distortion.

Qmmg gated tones from dpo into erbe-verb panned from x-pan. Nice makenoise gear. Marked up at 48khz 32-bit for morphagene. Enjoy!.

Home-made accidental glitch made by rendering on editing software whilst messing with the source file. Don't try this at home.

Each accidental pattern was mined out of a much longer recording. I noticed these interesting sequences of noises while editing other samples over the years and threw them into a catch-all folder. All of these were recorded with a usb-stick mic so they have a nice lo-fi distorted quality. Try looping any of these patterns and you'll hopefully understand why i selected them.

Nine minutes of not much happens. I blow my nose, the chair squeaks, cars drive past and i mutter to myself. Recorded with smartphone, middleton, nova scotia.

Mister sandman. . . Bring me a dream. . .

Recording of traditional sneaker with hard rubber sole stepping down on glasses on hardwood floor. Moderate room tone present. First takes are extremely near to glasses on floor, then followed by takes done about a meter away and at waist height. Glasses used were a pair of old metal framed earhook with polymer type prescription lens and an all plastic frame "blue light reducing" pair with plastic lens. Recorded on a tascam dr-05 linear pcm recorder around 11pm on 5/20/17.

A few seconds of mistaken recording in a car. I believe it's radio commentary of a sports game of some kind, but you can't tell what the man is saying.

*Johnston , difference between 5:3 (A) and 53:32 (A) on C = C. Just: 160/159 = 10.85 cents. Limit: 5-limit. MIDI pitch bend: 60,67

An accidental bump of the audio recorder but quite useful.

Accidental.

Accidental knock of the mic against a pole.

Accidental processing of a bubbling fermenter. Sounds like portals.

My accidental sneeze before i started recording lines.

This was accidental and i thought it was funny.

An accidental sneeze while recording on a zoom h6.

An accidental sneeze i got on my recording. You're welcome. -sam.

I don't remember what caused this sound, i think it was my mic shifting. Accidental sounds prove useful!.

An open door accidentally kicked, while leaving a room. 2 audio technica pro 37's 16bit 44. 1 stereo.

Random series of short high frequency sounds generated by arp odyssey. An accidental "r2 detour".

Spoiler alert: hair dryer recorded from across the room with some noise filters. Accidental. Do whatever with it.

Distorted open a chord. The chords in this sample pack may not all have the same tone due to accidental microphone movements.

Accidental unplug of mic during recording (i think - don't really remember the situation).

Accidental noise reminded partial lullaby of the leaves. +5 octave from original sound creation. Overdrive, limiter, la de da- transformed said sample into multiple abstract creations.

An accidental recording of my mini golden doodle barking and howling to be let outside, with her nails clicking on the laminate flooring.

These short files are random selections from a 9min composite audio file i put together from an accidental recording made when i left my sony camcorder on in my studio. They are part of the same series posted elsewhere on thefreesoundproject site titled "accidental recordist". There is some hiss/background noise which is part of the street front urban scene of my studio. There are two chimes - one low pitch constructed of four aluminium tubes and wooden clapper (gift) and the high pitch one of small stainless steel discs (purchased in maui from craft shop). I did some basic cleanup of low level background noise and applied plus one level of loudness using adobe soundbooth cs3 to get some clarity.

Accidental creation of audio that kind of resembles a ghostly sound. It also sounds like a bunch of cows mooing! lol!beware! where's the beef takes on a new meaning! ooooooooooo! lol!.

Accidental recording of the rec-button on my sony tcm-16, recorded with these same. Let me know if you like it and/or use it if you want to.

Leaning on my computer chair that desperately needs some wd-40. This time, my mic is a bit further away, as well as an accidental thump. For reasons i cannot control, there may be noise.

Accidental feedback loop turned very eerie electronic effect. Recorded twice at random and then panned hard left and right. Sounds cool in stereo, or you can split up the two files.

I'm note sure where or when i recorded this, but it features a number of interesting and useful sounds. It opens with a nice tone, and features various evocative scenes.

Incidental sounds of a few men in a large room, unintelligible english and hebrew, lots of kaddishes and amens, a shofar blowing, chair sounds. Accidental recording; recorder left on after a class. 70 minutes.

Sounwalk in vancouver, bc, on may 4, 2014. A group of sound enthusiasts and musicians took a stroll around local neighbourhood, listening to big and small accidental sounds, and occasionally playing the trumpet/singing and vocalizing around the sounscape of the city.

Diy gate connector techno. My home made gate connector is fun to use to more then modular gate signals. This is a simple, almost accidental, beat driven thou the connector.

A captcha code that i pressed play on and was malfunctioning, then managed to download it and time warp it a bit in ableton 8. Accidental recorded "meow" from myself at the very end on my computer speakers. 16 bit.

Urban rooster from portland, or calls at 0:01, 1:20, 3:08, and 5:25 with an array of sounds in between: airplanes overhead, cars driving by, assorted bird chirps and caws, and even some wind boom-noise to play with. An accidental bump of the mic at 0:08 (sorry) should be the only major blemish in an otherwise funny first field-recording.

A compilation of accidental recordings or recordings of terrible quality i made, with the pops and crackles and interesting parts all together. I think if rearranged this could be useful for making vinyl, analog sounding drum beats. I used a similar strategy for making my chai tea drums- https://freesound. Org/people/f-r-a-g-i-l-e/sounds/507365/.

I found two melodies in gis_sweden's excellent "you deserve it - friday randomness ii"http://freesound. Org/people/gis_sweden/sounds/362508/. And quantized them into a 92 bpm 4/4 thing. Each melody is presented panned, with and without a beat, then simultaneously. It's sort of an accidental counterpoint. I also messed up his nice analog sound into some harsh digital junk. There's a lot of high frequency energy here so watch it, and apologies to mr. Fletcher, mr. Munson and their daughter, curve.

I accidentally recorded this sequence when i left my camcorder on while filming some drawing tutorials. My warehouse style studio is in the inner city at street level opening onto a street closure/park so you will hear some faint bird tweeting in the background. Near the beginning and end there is the sound of a large industrial sliding door and the loud clanging is a drop bolt on an external metal security grill gate. Wind blown chimes add to the scene. I only applied a very low level audio clean-up using adobe soundbooth cs3 to reduce hiss.

*short, synthesized evolving looping ambient teaser sequence with deep reverb on distant kickdrum. Fades in and fades out. A hint of a dreamy, chilling out atmosphere. An aural echo of days of gentle hippiedom. An accidental discovery as a result of feeding ni massive through flstudio's effector vst. An x-y controller is attached to effector with asychronous ramping of the x and y gains via two control tracks. Strangely produces phantom instrument sounds, almost like guitar and organ. Created in flstudio 11 with ni massive, flstudio effector, reverb, compression and eq. The note track is made by me for no good reason - i just thought it sounded pretty. *there is, now, a longer version on my harddrive.

This sound was the result of a scary accident. I was looking at the view in the webcam of an open doorway leading into a dark hallway in my house, when suddenly this haunting feedback faded in and looped repeatedly, until i pulled the volume down. It was unexpected, and quite unnerving. I had to laugh about it once i realized what had happened. But that first moment had me expecting some ghostly apparition to come in from the darkness. Anyhow, it's just an accidental feedback loop. I've had it in my archives for about 20 years now. I thought it might be useful to someone else. Enjoy!.

I made this sound in september 2003 - i used a fairlight mfx 3 - a direct descendant of the first sampler ever made - and the best ever to this day editing software for ground breaking features and functions. Clip based eq and level which you could cross fade between made the use of automation almost redundant in precise to picture editing. It also had a unique alternative jog function. You could loop 1 frame or so as you chose of sound at the orginal pitch which made it easy to find transient points. I then 'grind' the play head over a solo'd sound and play this into a reverb unit. I have many of these accidental experiments and one day i shall make the fairlight pack!. Until then enjoy this alien - from mars with love :). Ps - you can do this experiment today! i found that i can use sound flower as an out put in audio finder. If you open a sample in the sample editor - you can recreate the fairlight jpg by grabbing the playback head in play. You may then route sound flower thru an input channel and get some unusual effects that are difficult to achieve. . If you can improve on this method let me know!.
