'concertina In Space'

Okay, so, I got my husband to help me on this one -- he makes his debut on tuning forks.

 

Concertina In Space

 

This was very impromptu and isn't all polished-up and edited really great, mainly because I don't know how to do that.

 

But...I think I will go to outerspace again, and record some more of these weird things!

 

NOTE: If you play this MP3 file, the volume doesn't have to be very high, or you might notice the extra noise too much....I need to work on my skills using Audacity.

 

Anyway, this was fun.

 

Uses tuning forks C, D, E, F, and also Ut, Re, and Mi of the 'other' solfeggio, the original/sacred solfeggio....I can't recall exactly what notes UT, Re, Mi come closest to, but...later.

Very creative Wendy, you are going in unexpected directions! It sounds as if it could go on for hours...

 

I'm sure you will improve on Audacity. Just keep trying and exploring. There is so much to discover in this software.

Thanks. I do really like tuning forks. I finally read the insert that came with my CD by John Beaulieu, Calendula: A Suite For Pythagorean Tuning Forks, and got a bit of a tip on how to record the forks. Of course, he's quite a bit more painstaking and sophisticated than I've been, so far!

 

The trick now, in my recording efforts, is to edit out the whooshing of air conditioners from recordings done inside the house, and from outside recordings (like this one, the recent one of frogs, crickets, etc.) to eliminate the whoosing of distant trains, or the occasional car or plane.

 

So, I guess I'll have to first actually record the air conditioner, to make a sound sample of what I want edited out!

 

I'll have more 'play time' on the computer when my daughter goes back to college. She's home now so she uses the computer (which is fine), and not only that, but I'm still wading through all the piles of laundry that follow her around. (Can't they give 'em some kind of Laundry Degree program at the university? I don't really need to hear conversations in five different languages...I DO need to be able to move in my house....heheh )

I think it is very hard (or even an illusion) to edit out the background noise in this way. The best thing to do is to take the same precautions that professionals do: isolation of outside noise.

Under the category of "suffering for your art," I think a more effective solution would be to turn the air conditioning off?

An alternative "solution" is to incorporate that "noise" into the arrangement and use it as part of the art.

True! I tried it...got a very weird sound. I guess if I were trying for a techno-pop sound, it'd be a way to do that. But, that's not what I wanted.

 

What I got, after trying to edit-out the distant air-conditioner noise in one of my recordings, was like the sound of my singing/playing minus any oxygen. Very strange!

Yeah....I know... . Just was hard to do on the hottest day of the year...but, it seems we have less and less of those days, anyway!

 

Oh, meant to say, I really enjoyed listening to the recordings you recently posted. Really great!

Hmm. Air-conditioner whoosh.

 

Well...I think I can hear it along with the recent recording I got of one of the cats purring. He sounds like a giant monster in the middle of a field of crickets and frogs.

 

I'll have to work on that one....
