tones of square metal rail

Theres a bunch of different sized railing at my work and in this case a different shape, and they all have there own little tone to them but i have always loved this one the most and cant seem to keep my hands off it when im behind the presses, id like to bring some mallets to work some day and have a go at it.

I may throw some of this sound into live and mess around with it a bit, but ill post that in another blog if i have the chance.

sound of cars in the night

I really like sitting out back at work and listening to the cars go by when i have time, with the natural drone of the plant in the background its really soothing to have this on really aggravating nights, which is almost every night.

exploring the sound of a wind chime

I went to my parents house to pick up some papers and then go by the atm, while there it was a little windy and i could hear a wind chime my mom had by the front door so i decided to pull out my little camera and record the video clip above to bring the sounds back and process.

Below is the outcome,

m i ll to w n 

Last night while we were all colabing together i gave frank the sounds i recorded at the Newry Mill a few hours prior to the colab and he started to mess with them inside reaktor. The sample he is mainly using is of me playing with tumblers on a electrical box in the mills furnace room and the other sample is from me spinning a metal wheel on a door (the sounds from that are used more in the second piece).

Below is a little clip of me recording the sample of the electrical box,

And here is a link to the other video which shows me recording the metal wheel on the door.

Here are the two pieces, i have not edited them anyway just uploaded the stems as frank gave them to me after he got done processing, im really happy working with people like this as i get real enjoyment out of doing the recording aspect but its also nice to hear what someone else can do on top of your vision.

exploring sounds in newry mill w/ wendy owens

Me and my friend wendy decided to go on a little field recording trip out to the newry mill that i went to a few months back i hoped to get alot more recorded this time because last time i focused mainly on footage.

The main room we were recording in was the furnace room i believe, here is some footage of the recording below.

I found a little electrical box that had a series of tumblers that you could spin there was also random metal in there than made little clinks and noises.

Here is a clip of wendy messing around with the pipes hanging down from the mill.

This clip is from a little wheel that was on a wooden door.

And here are some more clips of wendy exploring around the mills sound.

All in all this was a really fun trip, it was nice to have someone with me this time around exploring the sound of the place, this is a space i play to return to time and time again, there is so much to explore and so many possibilities.

making generative drones using a accordion

I decided to pull out some stuff today and do a little more with my accordion, i setup my camera to record everything i did, no editing just push record and work, im really happy with the outcome of this ill post the audio when i have a minute.

exploring stone slate

 

My mom has this painted stone slate that hangs outside their garage, when its really windy it dings up against the brick and places nice little sounds, so today i decided to take it down and mess around with it a little.

 Below is a video while i was recording what i planned to process,

 

Heres a little video i took while processing the sample of the slate,

Here is a audio version,

488.5/76

While i was exploring the saluda dam train bridge last week i found a bunch of rail road nails laying on the ground under the tracks so i decided to grab a bunch of them to mess with. Tonight i finally got around to messing with them, recording them into generative chains in ableton and processing them.

Here is a high quality audio version of the recording i made using the nails,

I picked the name i did due to the little piece of metal i found nails under the bridge.

Below is a little video taken during the generative process,
