using plastic tote to explore/amplifi sounds of a metal rail

Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 9:08PM

while at work today i was getting totes out from behind the shop and one fell and it a metal rail and staying up against it which amplified the sound, i found this really interesting and tried to re-create it with another tote later that day and really liked the sound it makes. Below is a little video to show the idea, it was hard to do it the same way as i was holding the camera but it still sounds the same.

recording water using reverse speaker mic

Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 11:42PM

The original purpose of this mic was to record ants but i have yet to go out and find a ant hill so i decided to mess with it tonight letting water bounce around in the dome ive placed a picture below of what the speaker looks like and a recording of the water test underneath.

Mini Homemade Hydrophone Test In Sink

Monday, October 19, 2009 at 8:32PM

I made a little mini hydrophone i wanted to test use for little up close recording so i would not have to pull out one with a long cord every time. In the recording below there are times where it almost sounds like wind blowing but its from the suction of the water going down the drain.

new homemade hydrophone

Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 7:32PM

I decided to make a new hydrophone for when my h4 gets here so i can use it on some of my field recording adventures, contact mics / hydrophones when bought pre made from people can be rather costly and that is kind of putting it lightly so i decided to make one and plan to make a few more this week, i will make a video showing a easy way to go about it.

Below is a picture of the one i made today.

Download Nomads For Free

Monday, October 12, 2009 at 12:56PM

First off i would like to say i will no longer be charging for digital downloads of anything if im putting something out on digital it will be free, i do ask that if you really do like my work you buy it in hard copy or donate if you wish but i feel weird charging for digital music as i feel you should be able to hold something if your paying for it, i know the music itself is art but i just feel weird about it.

so with that being said i hope you take the time and download nomads, if you would like you can purchase it in 3" cd format from my store.

Congo Cajon W/ Masonverb Mic Inside

Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 4:22PM

we were messing around with the masonverb i made the other day and i decided to put it under my friends congo cajon and see what it would sound like, we ran the mic to the boss Me-50 and then to a amp. I decided to pull out my camera and record the little clip above.

Masonverb

Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 1:14AM

The masonverb is a diy mic with a reverb like effect to it, basically its a glass plate reverb, it was made by building a contact mic into a masonjar which leads to the name.

This idea happened by a accident of sorts i made the jar with the contact mic in it to use with ants to record their movements but i then seen while recording a video how well the sound from my camera turning on traveled throught the jar and decided to go with it from there.

The way it works is the sound travels through the mouth of the jar and vibrates the walls as it travels down to the base where the contact mic is, The mic picks up the main vibrations of the sound that hit the jar as well as what travels through the jar giving it a nice yet different reverb to it.

Here is a little jam session of my friend joe and his brother playing Takamine guitars which i recorded using the masonverb and a mxl condensor mic for backup, tho almost all of the reverb is coming from the jar. Joe is playing a tweleve string and his brother jon is playing a six string.
