Experimental Box V2

This is the second part of our successful experimental section: The “Experimental Box V2“. This time we focuses on objects and elements we found in a smithy of an artist blacksmith. We created a nice mishmash of highly playable rhythms, textures and instruments which are perfect for writing music in an experimental and minimalist way or giving your music a special character.

We just spent some hours in a smithy and recorded everything we could our hands on (next time we´ll definitely spend some more time): Nails, anvils, grindstones, ferreous tools, metal shapes, tubes, resonating plates, rattling sheets and any kind of machines. We´ve beaten, scrubbed and rattled the material and objects with hands, metal or rubber hammer, sticks and iron bars and came out with a wonderful assortment of textures, morphing pads, weird percussion and undefined instruments.

Anvil – Different sounds of beating the anvil, 17 velocity layers

Arcus Response – Iron hits with random delays. ModWheel adds weird noises

Dark Sheet – very deep and dark plate modulated through microphone movement, ModWheel changes scenario, rotator switch

Ferrous Loops – 35 sophisticated tempo-synced loops made of Ferreous Percussion, several knobs to control the sound

Ferreous Percussion – nails, metal clear, saws, unsorted hits of cans and tins and undefined smithy sounds

Grinding – 22 loops or one shots of close recording of grinding objects

Knatter – undefined deep crackling

Low Machine – a machine hum suspense pad, ModWheel controls amount of suspense

Metal Glass Sizzle – prudent and shy mystic texture, ModWheel adds digital distortion

Metal Resonance – low and calm spooky pad, ModWheel morphs sound

One Minute Melodica – melodica played by the blacksmith, distorted

Rattling Sheet – undefined deep rattling, ModWheel adds texture

Small Saw Hit – enormous deep but soft hits

Spanner – nice assortment of 8 different spanner

Strap Arp – tie-wrap arpeggiator

Tipping The Plate – deep metal percussion sound
