The "synth" in this little composition was created purely from resonance. Beginning with a spoken track, I played/recorded it numerous times which built up a nice ringing resonant sound. I then sampled portions of this sound to create a rather nice sounding synth. Other than a nice sprinkle of reverb and some minor time stretching (for spookiness), the sounds aren't altered in any way.

FA 3732 - Creative Project 1 (Resonance)

This tune was created from a file downloaded from freesound.org. The sound was about 2-3 minutes of a broken printer trying to function. I couldn't help but hear rhythms and music coming from it, so I had to sample it. Other than some gentle EQ and compression, the printer sounds are entirely organic - sampled directly from the file. I added some beefy drums and boom! A rather delicious end result. I plan to develop this idea into a full length piece in the future.
