I pulled out my kalimba tonight to mess around with and while doing so i found some tones i really liked so i decided to process away. I made a four chain setup in ableton and placed the sounds inside each one, below is a little video taken during the making.
Here is a full audio recording of the piece,
]]>Here is a link to the video where the source sounds were taken from,

I decided to go and setup my camera outside on my porch after i updated my blog with the last post, i wanted to get a longer recording of the rain falling, you can hear the thunder rolling in the distance but nothing to loud on that end.
Below is a little video i took standing out on my little porch area.
I decided to record a higher quality audio version of the rain, i put the recorder in between my outside doors.
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.
]]>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.
]]>Below is a little clip of me recording the sample of the electrical box,
And here is a link to the other video which shows me recording the metal wheel on the door.

Here are the two pieces, i have not edited them anyway just uploaded the stems as frank gave them to me after he got done processing, im really happy working with people like this as i get real enjoyment out of doing the recording aspect but its also nice to hear what someone else can do on top of your vision.

Me, Wendy and Frank decided to setup and work on some stuff in the new space wendy is opening, i start off showing a little of what frank is doing, then move on to wendy and then go to my computer. Just a small little clip to mark the lovely night of sound exploring.
Here is a little snip it of my side of the colab in higher quality,
