Serenade

Initially i started off with recording some electromagnetic noises and hums at home and at work with my new induction coil pick-up. It's fun and also kind of spooky to hear and recognize how strong some magnetic fields are around yourself. Since i'm always a fan of let things getting a bit out of control i setup some tracks in ableton with a few of the recorded noises modulating each other (with m4l lfo's, amplitude follower, vocoder, resonator).
I also played a bit with a reaktor patch for emulating string instruments called Serenade. It's an awesome device and especially when controlled with my leap motion it's so much fun and really expressive. But on the other hand it's also hard to master. As you can hear i have to practice a lot more. 
I'm sure a real string instrumentalist will wrinkle his nose and no question a real instrument sounds 1000 times better, but for absolute novices like me it gives you a tiny clue of how playing a violin/cello could feel.
