I made this stop motion video using a tool developed in Max 5 by Ali Momeni. All the sounds effects and music were previously posted on ACB. The sound at the beginning is the wind up toy from Weird Noisey Spark Shooting Guy. The backyard ambiance is from Normalized Binaural Back Alley Ambiance. The cave sound is pitched down water dripping from Snow Melting into Lake Superior. Finally, the music at the end is from Processed Rhodes Pedal Noise.
I have agreed to release my solo album with Unearthed Music on July 28, 2009. This will correspond with exactly one years worth of entries in the One Sound Every Day category on ACB. Since all of the pieces included in this work were inspired by my almost-daily-sound-experiments, it’s a fitting date to release the fruits of my labor. The album is nearly finished and will be released under my Ostraka moniker. Before I master the album I would like to involve ACB readers in the production process by polling you for suggestions.
What are your favorite sounds or micro-tracks that I’ve shared with you during this period? I plan on including four to six pieces from the ACB archives on the release. If you have an opinion about what should go on the album, please respond with a link to the post that has the sound in a comment to this entry. Thanks!
Here’s my latest mix of Blitzen Machine to give you a taste of what to expect from the album.

I rendered this odd percussion sequence from a GMS practice session in Ableton Live.

Here’s another unedited excerpt from a recent performance using the GMS. This example contains two live looped layers in a similar range at 124 bpm.
As shown in the photo, I was using a string of patio lights as one of my “light controllers” to create the sequences.
GMS Performance Excerpt #2
While touring a newspaper printing facility recently, my group came to an area where robotic guided vehicles were transporting giant reams of newsprint around. Each robot beeped at a different frequency from the next. Here’s what that sounded like.
