Week 5 - Experimenting with Harmor

The last few weeks have been pretty busy so all I have to blog about is a few sound doodles I made using one of my favorite plugins, Harmor. An additive/substractive, re-synthesis capable synthesizer which lets you do crazy stuff importing your own samples.

This guy was made solely from a simple recording of my apartment's AC unit humming: (WARNING, TURN YOUR VOLUME DOWN A LOT AS IT IS QUITE LOUD!)

Recorded our apartment's AC hum and ran it through Harmor and played with some knobs

This next one came from some electromagnetic recordings from the inside of a hard drive powering up/down:

This one is a little lighter than the others, but still super sci-fi. Also came from a weird snippet I found in another electromagnetic recording from the inside of an already powered up hard drive:

Playing with my electromagnetic recordings in Harmor

And this last one is actually not processed at all. Just a clean cut from yet another electromagnetic recording from a hard drive. It sounds like a scream of pain from inside the matrix to me!

Sounds like a person screaming

And that's all I got for now!
