Joe got flummoxed last week when I posted a link to the awesome inbflat.net on Facebook but not on the blog and he almost missed it. It is indeed great. I like combining the glass marimbas with the bass, the clarinet, the weirdo with the ambient voice and the flight of the red balloons sequence. It’s like my own little Michael Mann soundtrack.
Something I’ve been playing more with lately is the tonematrix by programmer André Michelle, based on Yamaha’s Tenori-On. Sometimes I’ll just let the mouse slide around randomly on that board and come up with the strangest, hypnotic pling-plong.
There is also something called Audiotool, where you can have a whole set of amplifiers, knobs and stuff, but that’s way too complex and timeconsuming for me.
Thankfully there’s the slightly easier WD-1 DJ-trainer to practice on, even if its selections are pretty cheesy.
Then of course there’s just the plain weirdness that is Looptracks.net.
Great post, Nick. AudioTool is gargantuan. I’d love to dig in to that thing…
