Sound tests

This month a friend of mine will be creating sounds that are taken from the story recordings and using a different chance process each time. After the chance process is complete, he can intervene and have some sort of control over the sound, although this should be minimal. The following is the first story and the final two links are the recording before his intervention, the the recording after his intervention (basically just added some reverb).


"1) Panyaoita.  Listening to track and choose 3 randon numbers from time. First test

3 numbers were chosen. Since no internet was there, 3 people chose three random times - 5, 16, 19

Panyaoita - 5 - Obviously, 16 - go to my bedroom, 19 - cried

Opened Ableton, loaded recording, created 3 separate tracks, and chose the latter words for each. Instead of looping the words / phrases, I warped each track to its maximum allowance. For each word / track I used a different warp method counting downwards in the list from the numbers we generated previously. Only 6 warp methods are available, so for 15 and 19, I restarted counting from the top of the list. For the first audio track 'Complex mode' was used, for the 2nd 'repitch mode', and for the 3rd 'Beats mode'.

The tracks were then put in the Ableton timeline, each starting midway from the previous one.

A Master Wav was then created, and reimported as one file into the timeline, where they were rewarped till the file reached a length of 1 minute. This created a further warped effect. The warp setting used now was Complex Pro, based on personal choice because of the ambient style it created.

Opened Ableton, Went to effects, and chose 5th, 16th and 19th effect, ie Chorus, Gate, Looper."
