I'm going through my old found sounds -> instrument-sounds-projects, and I really wish to go back to past Morten and tell him to organize his editing, so future Morten (that's present Morten now) can see how the sounds were created.
Especially tonal sounds can be hard to create from ex. sticks, rocks or what ever is the object being sampled, but I somehow always manage to make some kind of nice key like sound. I just have no idea how I did it.
Key-sample in question for the curious.
First track is a regular Ableton sampler, where it works like a keyboard-sound
Second track is Pigments, where I use the same sample in the Granular Engine to make a pad-like sound.
I have no idea how the sample was made. The raw materiale was recorded at a local moor, so it's stuff like sticks, rocks, dry plants, gravel etc... The tonal texture could be isolated/extracted from a rock, they "sing" sometimes.
