thanks for reviving my question - I still think about it a lot. there’s many things around me that I wish I had a recorder/video to capture. yesterday I heard these really cool periodicity from a train letting off steam that I wish I recorded. some other ideas of periodicity:
- leafing through pages of a book
- footsteps
- bike tire spinning (inspired synth)
- faucet (pretty easy to control and record!)
ooh I love this idea! using photoresistors can go a long way as cv modulators.
there is great periodicity in cooking of food. also chewing food is a good periodic motion. speaking of food and motion, my roommate used to make these amazing okonomiyaki pancakes that have dancing bonito flakes. some naive motion capture might be able to capture some of the periodicity in these things.
that bubbling oatmeal seems to be unreasonably cool sound source (speed up 10x and then paulstretched, no other fx):
