Sound Design

Nano Electronics released on SamplePhonics: http://zfer.us/75QZ9

Exploring the sound realm of electronic circuitry in laptops, iOS devices, game consoles, cellphones and a wealth of other electronic devices. Recorded in 24bit/48khz with a professional Sound Devices 702 and special stereo microphones (modified JrF Coil Pick-Ups) capturing tiny electronic particles many beyond the human auditory range. The result is a remarkably collection of circuit boards, startup and shutdown sequences, robotics, bleeps, drones, abstract backdrops and moving textures. 

Each samples have undergone a volume gain and spectral audio correction where necessary but are otherwise left un-fx'ed to preserve the audio source as original as possible. The samples are rendered at a normalizing level -2dB headroom with no further processing, keeping the full dynamic range intact. All samples are then carefully tagged with appropriate iXML and BEXT metadata for use with Soundminer and Basehead.

It's a little embarrassing, but...I think this is like, almost done. Please be gentle with me.

Ending maybe needs something, so it just fades out right now. Yeah.

Working on a new album! This will be on it, so, um, anticipate the completion of things, or something.
