little clock (disquiet0194)

i often listen to the little clock in the spare room when i'm meditating; how it sounds slightly different with each tick; and i like listening for the rhythm of different clocks ticking around the house. the track is made only from a clock sample. i recorded the sound of the clock ticking and incidental sounds for a couple of minutes, and that forms the backbone. then in cecilia5 i made 4 different rhythms - some repetitive, some chaotic (one of the beats i played with the frequencies in real time). i paulstretched a single tick 5000% for a nice drone, then cloned that added tremolo and pitched down for some low-end. i ran the original sample through a load of echo fx in podfarm2. i used the waveguide models module in cecilia5 for some fuller sounds (although i don't know if that 'adds' anything to the sample.. don't really understand what that does.. anyone?) ????????????????????? Disquiet Junto Project 0194: Clock Play Record the sound of a clock and make something playful and sweet out of it. Sometimes Junto projects have very detailed rules, and other times the rules are, true to very first Junto project, simple and open-ended. This week’s project is the latter. (Thanks to Brian Biggs for the timely creative nudge.) Step 1: Record the sound of a clock and make something playful and sweet out of it. (You can also use pre-recorded sounds, like those at freesound.org, if you prefer.)
