Rubbing The Top Of Benjamin's Glasses [disquiet0497] by Krakenkraft & Etherkraken published on 2021-07-10T19:11:31Z Disquiet Junto Project 0497: Benjamin’s Glass. The Assignment: Pay tribute to Benjamin Franklin and his armonica. I thought about cheating with a sampler, because I never believed I would be able to get sound from a glass, but it was a question of honor and it worked! So I started with the glasses and counted: I only have 2. This would not be enough for a hommage to Le Carnaval des animaux, The Aquarium. (Yes: Blame it on the equipment!) Anyway, let's go. I 'recorded' the glass harp live with a Zoom H5n and sent the line output live to my modular setup, into MI Ears. I multiplied it into two signal paths: One sent the audio to MI Clouds with some usual Clouds mumbo-jumbo and V/OCT played by Makenoise Réne (plus some mixer reverb). The other one (and this is what the track is starting with) was sent to Makenoise Phonogene (and via TC HOF2 to the mixer). The Phonegene looped the glass armonica, later modified by the same CV from Rene that modified Clouds, playing notes. The musician fiddled some knobs and cables while rubbing the glasses and tried not to kill the electric devices with wet fingers. Whoa, that was stressful. Everything is live, audio is only the glass harp the live hardware, no editing, only some mastering at Reaper export. This may be take eight or so, there is another take on soundcloud, which I liked, too, but not as much as this one. https://soundcloud.com/winterer/rubbing-the-top-of-benjamins-glasses-disquiet0497-b-side -- More on this 497th weekly Disquiet Junto project — Benjamin’s Glass (The Assignment: Pay tribute to Benjamin Franklin and his armonica) — at: https://disquiet.com/0497/ More on the Disquiet Junto at: https://disquiet.com/junto/ Subscribe to project announcements here: https://tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto/ Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0497-benjamins-glass/ There’s also a Disquiet Junto Slack.
