Ringing Rocks has the chiming, beautiful tones of an ancient boulder field. As hammers strike stone, the powerful clangs resonate like church bells and bring to life a natural sonic wonder. Plus, you receive many types of melodic tones, hammering rhythms, grinding metallic stone, resonant scrapes, and much more. If you need rocks unlike any you’ve heard before, listen to Ringing Rocks.

Demo Notes: 

• No processing was done to the rock samples other than warping and quantizing the strikes to the grid from 0:55 to 1:41 in Ableton Live so they would fit nicely with the tempo. 

Key Features:

• 237 files, 500+ natural chime and bell-like rock sounds
• Hammers: small hammer, medium sledgehammer, and crowbar
• Single strikes
• Variation strikes with many sequential hits all in one audio file
• Resonant scraping of hammers on rock for rich tactile textures
• Major third, minor third, half step and other naturally occurring melodic motives generated by “playing” the rocks with multiple hammers
• Strikes include frequencies up to 60 kHz 
• Rocks with a strong fundamental pitch include the closest equal temperament note in the metadata
• Bb’s ,Db’s, and Gb's are common throughout the boulder field
• Unpitched and complex pitch descriptors also included in metadata
• Audio files labeled by parent rock numbers: 1-31 to easily find samples with similar harmonic content but played with different implements
• Can be sorted by rock numbers, hammer type, and strike/scrap
• Location: Near Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania.
