Disquiet Junto Project 0433: Kit Bits

kspringer · 2020-04-19T20:43:42.435Z

A few sounds that I edited out of a recent theater project to create a kind of percussion kit. Just a few cast offs: https://soundcloud.com/ktspringer/sets/cast-offs-disquiet0433

My original kit was comprised of:
Guitar
Ebow
Solonoid controlled by Koma Electronic Field Kit

My aesthetic predilections are something akin to a dog glomming on to a specific stick or old tennis ball on the one hand, and a small child collecting cheap toys and tchotchkes in a box or jar on the other; which is to say i took some delight in assembling these eighteen tiny fragmentary sounds.

They’re undoubtedly a chaotic, inconsistent bunch and not really a proper kit but they are all short, mono & percussive enough to be of some use, i hope. Ideally, you 'd be ale to synthesise the sort of tinny rattles that characterise those guys who busk with kits assembled from various pieces of trash & clutter… The sounds are nearly all tiny slips of field recording that caught my ear over the weekend as i skipped through the past ~8 months of recordings on my SD cards, the exception being dumm which is made out of a sine wave; i really wanted a ’ b o o m ', y’know?

Each of the samples on Soundcloud are downloadable; a zip of all of 'em is available here.

These old hose fittings have been sitting in my music box for years. This Junto project was a great opportunity to do make percussion samples with them.

Drum samples, from the Volca Sample factory sounds, played through a tin biscuit box, in the shape of France, converted into a reverb/resonator. Recorded with the biscuit tin lid on and off through a ladder filter with a touch of resonance.

Edit: I’m so kicking myself (pun intended) that I didn’t call this “bits kit tin”.

recorded a noisy bird on top of a hill
these are the isolated clicks and noises that were picked up
i’ve kept in the bird tweeting too.

very little processing. noise reduction, fades, a little eq’ing

A particularly music cardboard box provided the percussion instrument that was struck by my hand in a number of ways:

Glad to finally get something up on Freesound.
Have a good week!

A kit of sounds made only with the Korg littleBits Synth Kit. No external processing, just some volume tweaks.

A few days ago when I went to wash the dishes, I found I had a couple glasses stacked so that when the faucet dripped into them there was a pretty long, wobbly resonance. This seems like a good time to offer up those samples for some Hugh Le Caine action. They do seem to sound pretty nice pitched up & down and/or timestretched.

I’m including a bit of room tone since the noise floor is maybe not so awesome.

I’ll get a playlist rolling shortly. There’s a lot of music that’s download-only (not streaming), which is perfectly fine, so folks will need to kinda go back and forth between this thread and the SoundCloud playlist when we do a follow-up project employing the beats. Thanks, everyone!

A kit of 15 water sounds from around my house. Multiple drips, pours, flowing water, ice cubes, washing machine sounds.

hey peeps!

“Didn’t have much time to spend tweaking these - but basically spent a good while with our noisy froggies, couldn’t get a lot of tonal variety, though there are different croakers - I tried to listen out for interesting little rhythmical snippets, as they make a bunch of interesting beats, a bit like a shaker or something… I listened to them a good 20 mins, with the bats flying over the pond too - towards the end I became aware of a sympathetic resonance or something in my ear drums: i was hearing a sound they weren’t making, in my ears, a kind of complementary rhythm - they are quite loud and really get the old membranes bouncing! I haven’t done anything to the samples, just snipped at zero crossings, hope someone finds them useful!”

I have a tiny buchla, which consists of a touch sensing note memory, a 258J Osc, and a 292h lo pass gate. I made this kit by just jamming on the tsnm and spinning knobs.

my original idea involving bowed deer antlers and spent bullets didn’t quite work out, so twenty minutes to midnight i picked up an empty cereal box.

AuralAntithesis · 2020-04-20T23:12:41.022Z

All sounds recorded off my DIY springboard / e - kalimba. pictured with the most common beater tools, a copper wire “bow” a screwdriver and a large zip tie.

The file should be downloadable off the soundcloud page, I made sure to mark the box.

Looking forward to next week, when I can choose a kit and make a track! (hope someone choose my kit too).

Stay healthy y’all!

It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one who goes around visiting deserted playgrounds with a microphone in hand.

@baconpaul keeps mentioning this group in the Surge development Slack channel, so when they mentioned that this round was all about drum kit I jumped at the chance. I have been slowly amassing a collection of synth patches and field recordings for drum sounds so I decided to split 50/50 here.
There are some “normal” drum sounds made in Surge 1.6.6, and some more fun sounds recorded in a playground, a library, and an empty public pool.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=13wxLmNJwDIUkXPM29-AnBd3Xwni4hRzq

My Surge sounds mostly come from abusing the built-in Reverb: at small sizes in makes impressive metallic resonances. I’m happy to provide the patches if asked but I plan on tweaking them a little more to formally release a sound set.
The recorded sounds were captured with Zoom handheld recorders and edited slightly in Reaper.

ABOUT
These samples were captured on my Zoom recorder today, using only the things around my house. I tried to incorporate sounds from the things that have been a part of my daily life in isolation; planting seeds, watering plants, closing doors, sanitizing things, making medicinal tinctures from Astragalus and Chaga, cutting my own hair and sewing masks. These drum samples are all sounds from activities I’ve just mentioned. Some of them have been pitched up or down inside of ableton.

Tried to upload individually on Soundcloud but my internet is too glitchy at the moment.**

Feels like I have way less time for anything creative in the current era but feels like I’ve missed a ton of Disquiet project. Recorded a handful of items lying about my garage including: sidewalk chalk, thumping the wall, skidding my foot on the ground, a comb, and a plastic baseball and bat.

I hear you on this. So glad to see your name pop up.

Hi! I recorded some kitchen sounds with an old zoom h2 recorder. I tried to remove any noises and to make usable sounds
Thank you!
