'create a sound that has never been heard before...'

'create a sound that has never been heard before' from taalnaan on Vimeo.

This track was created using a number of nifty 'found objects', and some original instruments made by David Pye in the Nova Studio. These sounds include:
  • The 'MegaFlex' (an old airconditioning duct housing);
  • The 'Bowed Beastie' (some mounted fence wires played with a bass bow);
  • The 'Whirlie' (an old favourite - made with old washing machine hose);
  • and last, but not least, the didgeribone - a PVC pipe digeridoo which 'slides' its pitch like a trombone.
These sounds are all processed in Ableton, with a few extra samples from an Amon Tobin Maschine Kit thrown in for good measure.

This track was produced as an entry in the SoundCloud VFS 'make a sound that's never been heard before' Sound Design Competition.
