Was encouraged to enter a competition held by SOUNDkitchen UK. They were asking for submissions for Field Recordings under the themes of 'Home' and 'Metal'. Perfect!
Using Audacity on my macbook I recorded the sounds made by scrunching the foil around lengths of rubber tubing and played around with them. Some of the sounds produced by slowing down and altering pitch were incredible! One sample sounded like a strange voice so I decided to whisper into the mic and include that. What I didn't realise was that because I was only using the built in speakers I could only hear a small fraction of what I had actually made. I found this out by borrowing Ky's headphones (can't remember why) and was thrilled with what I could hear. I was also acutely aware that a lot more work would be needed as I could now hear each layer. It was obvious that volumes needed adjusting plus timings of certain samples.
Excited, I entered the competition and waited......
