October Dare - a Freesound Project

This month at the Freesound Project we were encouraged - dared - to a challenge - to create a 2 - 4 minute song using at least 10 sounds uploaded to the site between August 27 and Sept. 27 2011.

Here is my creation.  Feel free to download it if you like it.  Share the link with a friend...



I used the following bits:

128700 – metal rub 8 – by be-steele
128820 – chord 10 – by mtcband
128823 – chord 15 – by mtcband
128824 – chord 14 – by mtcband
128825 – chord 13 – by mtcband
128974 – salchitron – by suzenako
129219 – quartz crystal singing bowl – by juskiddink
129282 – a secret wish – by fran_ky
129324 – dripping – by dobroide
129357 – chrrs – by corsica_s
129443 – curtains stretched – by alienxxx 
129449 – bhleeszn – by corsica_s
129450 – bhleeskex – by corsica_s
129451 – bhleesk – by corsica_s
129453 – bleesznddip –by corsica_s

The sounds were variously stretched, pitch-shifted, sped-up, reversed, echoed, and reverbed using Ableton Live and Soundbooth.


You can hear another entry to the dare from my friend toliettuberoll here.
We both used the crystal singing bowl sound.

  1. Beautiful piece Jeff, I'm jealous :). I see we also chose something by be-steele. And yeah, I was wondering given the limited date range how we all might differently process the same samples. I suppose that was part of AlienXXX's plan :)

    I really hope more people take part in this.

    Hey, if you add expansion to the lows at the end of 'singing bowl' you can hear birds singing and some other odd noises :)

    Have a good weekend.

  2. Edit: actually on second listen you can hear the birds anyway. Doh!
