Almost everyday, on my way to a local bakery, I walk in front of a dry cleaners.
When they have the front door open, I hear a lot of interesting sounds coming from their work equipment. Eventually, the different mechanical and steam sounds sparked something in my mind, so one day I asked the owners if I could record a piece of music by using their machines as musical instruments.
I used a puff iron, press and dry cleaning machines, a washer, clothes hangers, and a bucket full of soap.
The bass and lead sounds were created from the buzzing tones coming from the conduits and engines.
There are no additional sounds from any traditional or electronic instruments. Enjoy!
the super-inspiring instrument fandangler/sound designer, diego stocco (much featured here at abulafiamusic), is interviewed by the new FIDM Digital Arts blog. CDM also has a couple of cool soundcloud clips from diego, the first being a cinematic sound design piece, and the second the totally blah source material used to create the first.
