Love the stuttery, fluttery-ness of this!

another gloomy January weekend brightened by faffing with the sounds of ice cubes; ten, this year, 'cause, i mean, how could i not? 

i re-listened to previous years submissions, partially to get my head in the game somewhat, partly to try and find aspects i hadn't concentrated on in the sound source. I've been guilty of using ancillary sounds a lot in the past i think - the clunk of the ice hitting the glass or the glass hitting the counter; the tear of the cube being taken from the tray - and figured i ought to be a little more circumspect this year, so made a point of only selecting the clinks and rattles of the cubes suspended in the drink [water] for this year.

I cut 30, small, percussive sections of clinking & set them away in a pattern in FruityLoops, a sort of gritty pulse punctuated with some lightly distorted samples and some pitched up or down a little. I mixed in a little assertive chatter made in Leafcutter John's Forestry and then made a couple of versions - one pitched down dramatically and one reversed and one as it was which i then chopped into something like a structure. I then made two copies of that file, played one forward, the other back & applied differing filters to both to try and bring out the... jittery cubist xylophone shambles of the whole thing.

Thanks again - always! - for the prompt, Marc! ^_^

Techniques
- Asymmetric loop lengths
- LFO control over panning
- LFO control over track volume
- Phase offset of LFOs to create variation

This is a site specific performance of my Found Objects and Atmospheres (acoustic translation version) on July 15th at King's College Strand Campus, Somerset House, East Wing, Inigo Rooms,  the space of the Performative and Experiential Translation exhibition. As sound material for my performance I solely used field recordings I made at the campus and its surroundings and some sounds I produced live during the performance. I transformed or "translated" the field recordings into electronic sounds using a framework I set up with tools developed by GRM.
