This recording was made on the 3rd April 2008 as I undertook a soundwalk from Tottenham Court Road underground station, along Charing Cross Road (via Denmark Street). This is a part of London which 13 years later is VERY different, many of the landmark buildings have gone to make way for Crossrail and the new TCR station.
I am always amazing at the power that modern DAWs give the music/audio creative, some of them are quite functional, but when you look under the hood, they can be used in amazingly creative ways. I love the idea of taking something which already exists and then mangling and manipulating it into something completely different….I mean that forms the basis of the majority of all of my work!
I love the buzz and vibrance of a train station platform. There is always so much to take in sonically, but often we are distracted by the hustle and bustle of what is going on as we wait. I find soundscape recordings of train stations give you another insight and perspective to the inner workings of our hive like behaviour at transport hubs.
We all love a good new plugin don’t we, but seriously, this one is SO much fun I am left wondering if it is actually legal?
I have just been checking out Fundamental from Soniclab, the plugin collaboration of Hainbach and Sinan Bökesoy. Only one word needed. Awesome!
As a creator of a lot of texture based, ambient soundscapes and music compositions, the tone and the way that this creates evolving soundscapes and drones is incredible. I this demo video of the plugin, where I am using it for the first time, I also added some Eventide Blackhole reverb with an additional added touch from AudioThing Speakers (also awesome!!)
There is so much more to explore with this plugin, especially when you start layering multiple instances of Fundamental together!
Enjoy!
