Cauchemar coffee

"Initially I was interested in this field recording because of the joy and fun the competition and ping-pong sounds evoke and the idea of creating a piece to match that energy. As I was working with the recording (changing speed/octaves), I was struck by how easily these fun sounds could be transformed into nightmarish sounds. This led me to combine the nightmare quality, the way sounds can be incorporated into dreams, the feeling of waking up on Sunday morning, and my love of horror movie soundtracks for “Cauchemar Coffee.” "This track manipulates and adds to the main field recording, tracing the time from being still in a dream state through waking up, making a coffee, and starting your Sunday morning."“Cauchemar Coffe” was created in VCVRack2 with additional field recordings including bird sounds from my porch, making my own Sunday coffee and waffles, bouncing a pickleball, and raindrops on/near a water-proof stereo contact mic. Playspeed, octaves, sample portions, and effects were changed during the track on the original field recording. Field recordings were combined with additional virtual eurorack modules and effects."Table tennis in Paris reimagined by Stephanie E. Vasko.
