Wiggle Room

This week is another instrumental filled with synth explorations and found sounds.  We recently got our dogs some new toys and I couldn't help but notice they made a really cool weird sound when you shook them.  So I recorded one of them at three different speeds: normal, super sped up, and super slowed down.  This also has the sound of my ring spinning on my desk both forwards and backwards, and also a soda can pop top with a heavy delay on it.

Oh i liked this one. This is a strange organic world, with bizarre plants and mushrooms that walk around. I liked that one a lot.

Very nice. I like the vibe.

LOVE this. great sounds, and very creatively assembled heart

Ooh what a fun exploration in sampling and synths! The found sound really adds to the atmosphere of the track. Love those deep synth pads too!

This was cosmic fun. Excellently composed.

The image I get: a homesick earthling begins to explore the spacecraft they hitchhiked on, pushing buttons and activating Rube Goldberg machines along the way. Chord sequence is really adaptable, able to feel at one moment like grand loneliness (0:33ish to 1:12) and then transition out into tentative curiosity. Really like the slowed-down squeaky toy and *love* the different playhead changes on the spinning ring. The siren drop 1:42-1:48 is chilling, especially with the deepest toy sound, and it makes the sillier sample manipulation and the vibrato synth hits ~2:20 feel even brighter. The last toy drop made me smile

what a cool idea! especially love those weird dog toy sounds. nice work

I love weird found sounds. This is really fun. Great work.

love the sound design, I was like wait what is this, who is this, love the exploration!

Thanks!  That dog toy was too good of a sound not to play around with.

Thanks!  Found sounds are a lot of fun.  I should really use some more of them.

Thanks!  I can see the earthling just randomly pushing buttons and having strange things happen.  It was fun to play around and manipulate the found sounds on this one.

Couldn't resist using that dog toy.  It's a great weird sound.

Thanks!  I love weird found sounds, too.  This is a good reminder to use them more often.
