Le piano a besoin d'etre accorde

By Perplex On on January 23, 2014 3:16 pm

This weeks entry is a little bit more experimental. Some time ago i had the chance to do a recording session with an old upright piano and some great equipment (unfortunately not mine smile ). I did a load of "unusual" recordings like knocking on the case, treatment of the piano strings and sounds of the piano's inner mechanics (and of the creaking chair). By using different stereo pairs of mics on different positions at the same time i could play a lot with the various recordings and room informations of each sound afterwards. So this week i took the opportunity and did some processing and arrangement work with these sounds. All sounds you hear are made of these recorded piano samples.

wuah man I did this too...a friend of mine had an old piano wing and we took all kinds of things to make sounds and recorded it for a whole day!

I love what you made out of it! I am still kinda stuck with the samples I got out of it...but maybe I'm gonna do something later this year!

Easily the best way to piano

John cage would be proud, great track

C'est tres hanté! I really like the placement of sounds and space created within this one. And i always love how theres an underlying groove in all of your tracks, going to be hard to keep up if keep releasing stuff like this hah

Stunning recording quality, very nice track!

Great track, a perfect blend of sample based music and prepared piano.
Definitely my favorite WB-submission of the week so far!

I love this!

I knew I would enjoy it just from the premise. Also really like where you took it.
Tempted to sample your samples smile

i was looking forward to your submission this week and was not disappointed!

sounds bloody excellent! on headphones it feels like my face is right in front of a fucked up player piano trying to hold itself together smile

I'm a bit of a fan of experimental piano.  Great sounds.  Very well done!

dang this is awesome! the sound is so crisp and in my face! (which is good duh).  I wish I still had my old piano so I could sample it.  Love the muffled beat that came out of this.

Like Source Invisible said, it feels like someone grabbed me by the hair and has smushed my face against the piano, then proceeded to make all these crazy sounds. What an awesome track.

The piano sounds incredible, listened to it on headphones as well and it was like being transported to another world.
I'm amazed every time how much detail you are able to put into your tracks in just one week!

Great sounds. Nice work.

nice sounds! and composition! really elegant!

great recording

Fantastic piece. I love it!

I love experiments like this, you managed to pull something really musical out of it. Great work!

Late to the party -- everyone else has said it all<3<3
