processing sound of broken santoor

I was playing around on my broken santoor all yesterday since i walked in the door, so later last night i decided to set down and record some of the strings being tapped with a metal rod and then throw them into ableton and process.

here is a short video clip of the processing part.

Processing Mixer Feedback

Today in the colab inbox i found a sample of mixer feedback using the setup above, it was set to my from the artist Erik Schoster aka "hecanjog".

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,

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,

nonn

Ive had the pleasure to make like minded friends on the net and not to long ago i met a guy whos work i really like, we have a lot of common interest and he also has a thing for documenting his work just like i do.

Anyway back to the point of this post, So Rick has this stonaphone that he plays in a lot of his videos and he produces such lovely tones on the thing so i decided to ask him to make some sounds in a video for me to mess with.

Here is a link to his youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/ReturnToSound 

Below is the clip he made for me:

What i did was take the sounds and put them into ableton live, i placed the clip into three different chains running a generative process, two were a single chain of the same process just at different focal points and the other was different generative setup built in three parts.

Below is a little clip as i process the sounds.

Here is a full audio version of what i did with the sounds.

Flood Light Experiment 

This is a flood light i picked up from work i really like it for the looks alone but it makes some really lovely tones, i decided to take it home and hook up my contact mic to it and tap on it some, I recorded the tones using my zoom h4 and then placed it into a generative chain inside ableton live to process it. Below is a video showing the bulb as well as the sound made from it.
