Shunt

Well after shitting the bed during week one, coming into week five feels pretty good.


No real theme or anything behind this, just that I'm a weird lil goblin and figured I would see if a vibrator could be used to make a track. Turns out, yes, yes it can. Used a bass with a big MM style humbucker to pickup the actual buzz, then distorted the output and went from there. Pretty happy with it.

Not quite sure if Ill fully switch to an actual synth set up in the future or continue to record and tweak what ever I can get my hands on and channel through a bass. Its been too much fun seeing what works and what doesn't.

That was great, the way the drone pulsed gave an almost organic feeling against all the other metallic noise.  wonderful

Haha, truly an avantgarde approach. Spooky sex music. My prog mind is hearing the swelling pulse of the vibrator in almost a 5/8 rhythmic pattern (What a sentence, feels like a line out of a Lars Von Trier film lol). Very immersive and I love that big psuedo-string swell that ends in the War of the Worlds BWAAAAAAAMMMPPPP

Thanks man!

I feel like I should've documented the whole process for extra ridiculousness.

excellent track, I like that it leans into the sound and takes it where it goes, much like good sex

I did not expect it to be so related

also the track feels like it has no climax but that's ok, it was still an enjoyable ride big_smile

yes to this

I feel like this is something orcs would listen to. This is another awesome track!

Man what a soundscape, also 100% agree with horatiuromantic, I would absolute have watched a video on vibrator based sound design!

Thank you! I guess that settles it then, next time I get weird with this I'll have to make a video
