some things should remain secret



I started in Bitwig Studio by playing around with the Poly Grid (in mono mode).
After doing an improvisation of about 30 seconds, I did a Paulstretch in Audacity to reach 15 minutes.
I kept the originial improvisation at the beginning of my track.
Then I added a pad sound, simply by playing it while running the timestretched track.
At the end I added a speech by unfa https://freesound.org/people/unfa/ called One-Word-At-A-Time: The Chaos Code / Chapter 1

I hope you enjoy listening!

This has a bell like sound in it, which I like, but the original sound of the bell in this image is a much lower register when listening to the wind sough through it with your head inside it. No digs to your composition, however, I do like it! Ha ha, I just know what this bell sounds like because I have done exactly that on many occasions.

This track contains three layers: First some bell sounds with their pitch mix modulated and processed through Blackhole reverb. Second snippets of bird sounds taken from an self made field recording in Taormina, Sicily, sliced, stretched, pitched and mangled in different ways. Third a pad sound created with iZotope IRIS2 with which I freely improvised the harmonic and melodic foundation of this sound collage. Enjoy!

martinjuenke Nicely done!

If you want the single track in here, the syntax is [ BT2]TRACK ID[/BT2 ] (without the spaces, of course).. Unless you were being sneaky and wanted us to hear your whole collection, LoL.

Changed the link and it worked. Thanks!

A bit late but here goes...



Some excerpts taken from my disquiet ice challenge, stretched a bit and attacked with all sorts of plugins until they sounded like I wanted them to. Which doesn't always happen...

All over, vote!
