Liner Notes

@beto says: I received this beautiful postcard from @florian for the #PostcardChallenge:

It had this interesting message on the back:

It says:

"Professor! SUCCESS!!! Who would have believed how correct Eichendorff was: "A song sleeps in all things around." Yesterday, we fired our Wave Resonance Inducer (WRI) for the very first time. At a ceramic shard, a wooden ship plank. A silver key. Oh, the sounds it evoked from these things! I have never experienced such a thing of beauty! We are planning on extending our tests tomorrow. What secrets will we hear from a sun-ripe tomato? A songbird? -- Maybe even a human being?!"

So I grabbed my keychain, a ceramic bowl, and a wooden plank. I hit them with a drumstick, and recorded their sound. And I ran these recordings through a resonator (the Wingie2), and some pitch shifting, and reverb, and an impulse response from a forest. And after all of that I was able to extract the music contained inside those day-to-day objects.

Amazing sounds and the ability to extract them is also very commendable. Lovely sounds.

Love it, calming and interesting at the same time. I am a big fan of resonators, so many cool sounds and textures you can get from them!

What a cool prompt @florian gave to you! I should try that postcard challenge but FAWM is just top short for that.

Sonically I enjoyed these experimental organ (?) Vibes a lot. Great sounddesign, cool layers

Quite an interesting postcard, both visually and the words therein. What strikes my most about the your music here is the gentle pace it unfolds and the layers. Sound sounds are more up front and others residing more in the shadows. I could easily see meditating to this, or maybe more my wife meditating to it because that's something she does...

Beautiful music and production. Very creative and calming.

Lovely.
Really wonderful message on the postcard; I want to know more about their experiments!
I'm enjoying the jewel-like chimes in my headphones.

this is so calm. This postcard reads like a memo from the FBC in The game "Control" (not sure if you've ever played it) Great job with the music!

This is all kinds of lovely! I spent a good deal of time just admiring this postcard before I even pressed play. I'm guessing this is like foley percussion. It works so well, truthfully. I like the way the sounds you've found and used work together. Just beautiful. Nice work, to all.

This is seriously wonderful. I love what you did with Wingie2 to make such beautiful music out of a few normally non-musical objects.

Very beautiful sounds you have created. It's fun to take found sounds and turn them into music.

what a beautiful exchange! i love that this exists. and it is beautiful too, such gorgeous sounds... i am in headphones between takes
[avatar]
I love how you leaned into the message offered by the postcard! This is incredible!
[avatar]
OK this is crazy cool sound design!!! Bloody brilliant!!!
[avatar]
What an intriguing postcard and what an interesting way to respond. Really cool !

@billwhite51 that's right, all sounds in this song come from hitting the 3 objects, and processing the audio!

have you simulated the sounds of the WRI? if you say you have, this recording would make me believe you
