Diego Stocco – Improv on a Trash Bin from Diego Stocco
At the hotel where I’m staying during the CES convention in Vegas, they have these little trash bins that I discovered being very resonant.
When I threw an empty water bottle inside the bin, it made a beautiful sustaining sound, so I thought to improvise a little groove with it.
I didn’t have all my usual recording gear with me so I used an iPhone with a small audio interface.
I sound designed the recordings to abstract the intro a little bit, to emphasize the dominant frequency and to open up the stereo field. I hope you’ll enjoy it : )
dudes, if you own an iphone or ipod touch, you must buy animoog. it’s cheap, supereasy to use, and it sounds amazing.
the carpetbagger blog over at nyt has a nice interview with gary rydstrom about sound design for ‘war horse’.
The star horses, Joey and Topthorn: “Our first instinct as a sound man is, if I just take a walrus and an otter, and speed them up, it’ll make a great Joey vocal! Spielberg tried to warn against that. He wanted the horses to sound like horses. We recorded many, many horses to find the voice for Joey. My favorite was miniature horses. They sound different, they have a different emotional range – they’re a little closer to dogs.
that’s the lead singer of stone temple pilots crooning away in this video.
nicely done ‘colliding banter’ by all n4tural
