246 – Illetas

This is noisy. Sorry about that, but getting a clean and clear recording from a contact mic seems to be a real challenge. That said, I have had a fun afternoon and evening creating sounds from scratch. This is made up of one sample using a contact mic and the Zoom H4n, capturing me singing down a six foot piece of plastic plumbing tube. I made it into an instrument and played it though a myriad of effects.

Why Illetas? Well, my son is there with his Mother on hoilday. It’s where we used to live when he was v.young. The piece sounds a little melancholic…

I miss him, that’s all.
