this is the sound of milk being heated to ~180C in preparation for hot chocolate

i think it will make an excellent shhweeeep with a gentle phaser

Recorded @ the chocolate room, harrow

Keyboard

This coffee machine has made for a lovely sub bass with a few little tweaks and i’ve thrown in some of the nicer bits of perc from the chocolate room

Coffee Machine + Other Percussion

!!!!!!!!CAUTION LOUD NOISES!!!!!!!!!

these beastly noises come out of the kiddies’ keyboard now with the addition of an extreme pitch potentiometer…

Pitch Potentiometer Test

these are a few noises from a trip to the shops. There’s a lil tasty reverb on those self-service beeps but I didn’t capture the “please insert cash or select payment type" as clearly as I wanted at all…I will return to make a higher quality sample of these pesky machines.

Tesco

this is a few snippets of audio featuring Harrison on the magical substance helium doing his interpretation of some classic samples. A few extra pitchshifted “back-to-the-old-school”s are attached to the end for extra entertainment

recorded with a shure 520dx “green bullet” harmonica microphone ;)

Harrison on Helium

this is a very distinctive sound that i have found quite a useful musical application for, as the next post will reveal…

in the meantime, have a think and see what noises you could get out of a bus ;)

Bus Brakes

yep, you guessed it, i turned the bus into something that sounds like somebody blowing over a large glass bottle!

it’s kind of ambient, creepy and dark so i’m going to use it in a really down-tempo atmospheric production
the effect has been achieved with a -36 semitone pitch shift on one track and a -48 on a second track underneath that is eq’d so that all the high-end has been rolled off. twice.

18666

this is useful as a hi-hat or layering snare

or as a way to light your spliff ;)

hope you’re smoking it’s 4:20pm already!
