I came across this set while browsing through my Ableton Live documents. Glitches and clicks slowly melt into metallic tones, back to glitches, and finally auto filtered before fading out. I could not find this experiment from last October posted on ACB, so it must have fallen through the cracks.
Mysterious Instrument
Here we have the pleasant voice of a flight attendant over the aircraft public address system.
Overhead Bin
This sound needs no explanation for anyone who has had the pleasure of utilizing ground based public transport.
Stop Requested
This segment of audio from the GMS is an unused section from Chromatic Currents Part II. I had slowed the durations and focused the video stimulus on low frequencies for this part of the piece.
Eerie Awkward
Since getting Ableton Live 8, I have yet to use it for a show due to performance issues and a lack of time to troubleshoot what’s causing garbled audio. I don’t have the same problem with 7, so perhaps 8 has more overhead. I’ll be looking into this soon. In any case I have had the opportunity to experiment with some of the instruments, including Electric. Although I still prefer the sound of my actual Rhodes pianos, Electric does a great job of simulating them, but more importantly it is capable of producing entirely new Rhodes-like instrument sounds. Here I started with an instrument out of the rack, tweaked it a little and then used it to play a loop I originally captured using the GMS.
