This weeks sounds came out of my new contact mic. I used it on a mountain dulcimer (first time i've recorded with it), a trashcan, and a glass of water. I also recorded a chime that you play like a xylophone. I extrapolated out the tune with this nice source material. This is the most tonal thing I think i've put up here, which i'm happy about, it isn't always easy making something happy sounding.

Inventive expansion of the source material -- love the way it fades into those fanfares at the end!

Awesome use of the source material. Contact mice are really nifty. I'm in the midst of building a recording array out of piezo sensors, for deployment across multiple surfaces of the same object.

Yes, very good use of source material.  The sounds are nicely captured also.  I must get my contacts out at some stage this year!

The contact mic was a great discovery for me, I want to find applications for it in a live setting, i'm messing around with that now.

Cool.  I've used them live.  Can be really effective.  Used it with a customised dual music box in a duo called 25 Frames which I am one half of.  I've got another contact where the sensor is dampened for more extreme volume usage.  Other cool thing.... they're cheap!  smile
