Echoes of the Labyrinth
An experiment in treating a recording I made recently of an Ormolu clock chime. In this piece I replayed the chimes at several speeds simultaneously, with a layer of reverb added to each. A higher register layer was generated by pitching the chimes up an octave, passing them through Michael Norris's "Spectral Weave" plugin, and adding slow phasing (from Sinevibes Whirl) and heavy reverb (courtesy Valhalla Plate) to the results.
The lower register chimes I thought had a vague "family resemblance" to some of the metallic resonances heard in Delia Derbyshire's track The Delian Mode. However this is not intended as a direct recreation of those sounds, but rather as an experiment with the Ormolu clock as a sound source to create a broadly similar type of ambience. (If you play back The Delian Mode at x8 speed some of the sounds normally heard as low metallic impacts are rendered as bright chimes; this gave me the idea of experimenting with pitching down the Ormolu clock sound, which when heard at original speed has a bright sparkling tonality).
The video features my photograph of the Ormolu clock used in the piece, with various fog texture overlays (Photo © D. Huggins / texture overlays licensed from Enchanted.Media plus "Smoky Fog Swirls" from Vecteezy.com).

Electrophonic Blues...

A short ambient track I recorded in late 2021, shared here to celebrate Delia Derbyshire Day 2022. With this I was inspired by Delia's atmospheric tracks on the Standard Music Library's album of electronic music from 1969 (aka ESL104), and how she would transform a "found" sound from her everyday acoustic environment by the use of tape manipulation, filters, and numerous other studio effects. I...
A Delian Dream Deferred

A short ambient track inspired by Delia Derbyshire's radiophonic music for The Dreams. For this I've made new recordings of a Tibetan bell and a large singing bowl, treated with rising filter sweeps and cavernous reverb. The image is a photo taken by me of a metal sculpture at the University of East Anglia, with overlays of grain, smoke, and dust to add some movement. (Photo © D. Huggins / text...
Swirling singing bowl...

A new singing bowl recording treated with reverb and slow filter sweeps (courtesy Sinevibes' Whirl plugin), in an attempt to get a swirling texture roughly approximating that heard in Delia Derbyshire's classic track Blue Veils and Golden Sands. I'm not sure exactly how Delia achieved that atmospheric swirling quality in her original recording, but it doesn't seem to be standard phasing or flan...

Coolicon Drones
Переглядів 733 роки тому
Some ambient drones I made from a new recording of a Coolicon lampshade. In making these sounds I was very much inspired by Delia Derbyshire. Effects applied to the raw recording included ring modulation, distortion, tremolo and heavy reverb. Photo is a closeup shot of a shell, turned negative and processed with a blue filter and a layer of film grain.
Hainbach Coventry video (my alternate soundtrack)
Переглядів 1843 роки тому
My attempt at making an alternate soundtrack for footage of Coventry shot by Hainbach. The sounds are derived from a series of percussive impacts on a ceramic object (with heavy reverb), plus some droning textures from Spitfire Audio's Tape Orchestra instrument. Hainbach's original video containing the source footage is here. Many thanks for making this available. ua-cam.com/video/8RITzJnrCbc/v...

Ambient Sci Fi drone sounds (test upload)
Переглядів 1,9 тис.8 років тому
Test upload. This is a clip from an audio file I put together in Audacity. It's samples from some late 50s electronic music cut into short sections, heavily reverbed and crossfaded, then slowed down by 800% using Paul Stretch to give an ambient droning texture. The slideshow is stills from the film Alien, just because I thought the sounds somehow suited those images.

    This is classic Liam. Kind of ironic considering how Noel kind of sacked himself on a couple of occasions over the years when he'd briefly quit during a tour and then return to the band. And, of course, 2009 when he left for good.
