we begin with air, through a Nebulizer (what else?)

now comes Water, through some chorus/delay plugins...

Never shout "FIRE!" in a crowded theatre... unless you run it through an (emulated) Korg-M20 filter bank first.

earthy footsteps, echoes and risset tones.

very interesting piece. sounds like someone talking:)

very cool they way you pick up the speed..

Process: Downloaded the four source samples from Freesound, converted them as needed with Audacity, and then loaded them into Audiomulch.

Gave each sound a 'character' with a mix of built-in contraptions and a couple of Korg Classic VST Plugins.  Mapped mixer and selected effect parameters to knobs/sliders on a Novation MIDI controller, and (after 3 rehearsal runs) "played" and recorded this result.

Minor levelling/tweaking done in Audacity before uploading.

Disquiet Junto Project 0069: The 4 Elements

This is a shared-sample project. Its theme is “The Four Elements.” The goal is to create a new piece of music by employing the following four source recordings, each of which is intended to represent one of the elements: earth, water, air, and fire. (Alternately, you can record your own source audio for any or all of the elements.) Your track should be be divided into four segments of roughly equal length, one for each element. Any two consecutive segments may overlap, but only briefly, up to three seconds. You can manipulate the source audio in any way you choose, but you cannot add any other source audio.

All the source audio is from Freesound.org. The earth sample is by ABouch, the water by aesqe, the wind by Bosk1, and the fire by suonho:
