Theres a bunch of different sized railing at my work and in this case a different shape, and they all have there own little tone to them but i have always loved this one the most and cant seem to keep my hands off it when im behind the presses, id like to bring some mallets to work some day and have a go at it.

I may throw some of this sound into live and mess around with it a bit, but ill post that in another blog if i have the chance.

So yea i work in a plastic molding plant as a material handler, its not the most amazing job but it pays the bills and funds any adventure i have wanted to take my work on thus far so i cant complain.

one thing i have loved since day one is all the different sounds going on around you, there is so much noise from plastic dryers, forklifts, machines and everything else possible its really amazing on the ears.

I really like sitting out back at work and listening to the cars go by when i have time, with the natural drone of the plant in the background its really soothing to have this on really aggravating nights, which is almost every night.

 I decided to sit down with my lapharp and start to mess around with some stuff, i plucked and bowed it recording the sounds using my macbook mic recording into live, i went from having something very melodic to working more into a deeper graining drone of sorts.

Yesterday on my way to work i really loved the look of the sky, it was full of creamy pastel colors so while i was sitting at a intersection i thought i would get some of the traffic sounds while getting some of the lovely sky in the video.

I woke up this morning to this loud sound from across the room, my first thought was that my heater was broken i then realized that the sound was coming from rain hitting it so i decided to setup my camera to record a little clip of it. It reminds me a little of a video my friend did with a piece of sheet metal and water dripping.

Heres a link to his video,

I went to my parents house to pick up some papers and then go by the atm, while there it was a little windy and i could hear a wind chime my mom had by the front door so i decided to pull out my little camera and record the video clip above to bring the sounds back and process.

Below is the outcome,

Yesterday i went over to my parents house to pick up a few things i had left there, while inside i left my camera on my dash facing to the clouds to recording some footage for a little time lapse video. The audio is a generative processed version of the "m i ll to w n"  tracks.
