Thanks! Well I think thatā€™s one of the interesting things about this group isnā€™t it? Sharing not just the music, but also insights about the process. For me Junto is mainly a way to learn and practice.

Video is fantastic! Can you share a bit about the tools you utilized in making the video? So fun!

One thing that this weekā€™s Junto surprised me with is how remarkably similar our kitchen drawers look. From the photos and videos it looks like we could swap drawers and probably make do just fine.

The assignment was to record a piece of music with the contents of a kitchen drawer. I took a device for slicing hard boiled eggs and chopsticks. Since I do not use a pc for my music, and donĀ“t have a DAW or plug-ins or what-nots, I reorded a little sequence of chopstick-on-eggslicer into my looper and got out my Kaos Pad for the first time and mangled it up. At the same time I came dug out an older track of mine - a live recording -, and mixed these two into my Kitchen MUSIC-disquiet0265
IĀ“ve got a second mix - More Kitchen MUSIC - using only refurbished sounds from my egg-slicer and 2 chopsticks which IĀ“ll upload to you Tube. lĀ“ll post the URL here

Nice sound from the egg slicer and chopsticks, kind of oriental sounding :sunglasses:

This is really great, I feel like you found the exact right amount of processing.

I didnā€™t have as much time as I expected so went for some looping and a blunt abuse of comb filters.

The tongs made the base drum sound. They are actually tongs for taking tea out of a (Chinese style) tea pot. Itā€™s the year of the rooster as of a few days and so there are some roosters in the picture and the saying ā€œgong xi fa caiā€ or ā€¦ congratulations become rich ā€¦
Thereā€™s also a picture of XiJin Ping ā€¦ the glorious leader of all Chinese. Well then there are some red envelopes, given at Chinese new years, but also perhaps at other time for bribes.
Nothing special for the music, itā€™s not the end result I want, but some things I feel are ok. Iā€™m starting to get a bit better understanding of a vocoder (or at least the Abelton one), and that is in there, other than that just standard sampler and direct sample manipulation.

Just scraped this in after waiting all week to be able to sit down and do this. The track takes place within a single clang of a metal measuring cup, stretched out beyond reason.

oops. first Soundcloud upload, I assumed they would encode it to m4a. reuploaded.

@Detritus_Tabu3 Iā€™m imagining a sped-up clip to go with this.
@paulf Reminds me of a soundtrack to a Tim Burton movie, probably one of his fairy tales.
@ClaudeLeBelge Nice stereo image and I like the flanging on the breathing sound.
@sevenism The stretching makes this feel microscopic.
@dizzybanjo Nice result, really goes.
@lio Takes a little while to get going but when it gets there itā€™s a surprise.
@fjna Are you rollerskating around the kitchen? I like it when cooking feels like this.
@Larry_Frazier Swoosh!
@audiodays Everything sounds huge, so the visuals make me feel small.

@RandomShuffle This is how it feels for me when someone else cooks.
@Craig_Wharton Intense. Clearly I canā€™t stand the heat in your kitchen.
@Hypoid Heh, Anoia. I donā€™t remember this from Wintersmith and feel youā€™ve enriched me. Thanks, the track has depth too.
@papernoise Feels like midnight and I was waiting for someone to walk in and catch me eating something I shouldnā€™t.
@encym Woah, that conclusion. Itā€™s like a soundtrack to washing the dishes during a party.
@jks Youā€™re making a mockery of the crockery.
@337is Great narrative. It was nice to get into someone elseā€™s drawers.
@vgmrmojo I like the sense of repetition. That captures something about my experience of the kitchen.

choose the best organized drawer as you can see on the image.
recorded with my DR-40 about four minutes using most of the tools shown
on the image,cut all the recorded bits. ended up ins some kind of rhythm like
bed to put improvised tracks on and off switches.
to get some ambience to this i used the Densitiy Instrument and CatStretch2, i used on Density the whole track, on the CatStretch i used only one of the snippets from the recorded track.
Fx i used are a simple reverb and a compressor.
kitchen gear is Spoons,Forks,Knifes,Scissors and a Garlic Crusher.

Thought Iā€™d add an image to the thread. I donā€™t have a picture of the drawer handy, but here you can see my patched modular as it was used for the performance of the piece I recorded.

No oscillators were usedā€¦ just the Zoom output split into the MMG filter, Clouds, and 4MS Dual Looping Delay. Rene and Maths were used to sequence changes in delay time and Clouds modulations, Tempi provided a clock for the modulators.

Thatā€™s pretty great. Thanks.

@bassling: well it was almost midnight indeed when I recorded the sounds. :slight_smile:
@qype: thanks! The Octatrack does make it easy I must admit. Itā€™s easier to over-process sounds in a DAW.
