WEEK3 - CC1 - Origami (or Editing 2)

This weeks exercise was to create 6 new samples using the original samples created in week 2 and the FFT (Fast Fourier Transformer) based software SPEAR. Below are my results.

UnwantedLetterZaaup.wav

I promised myself I wasn't going to blend two samples, but here I am doing it to start! Analysed at 110Hz, this is 'Unwanted Letter' with 'Zaaauuuuup!' overlaid and analysed at 10Hz, raised and backward stretched at about the 4.5 second mark. Selected a few lines of the original sample with the pointer tool and raised their amplitude at around 3.5 - 4 seconds. Then I fiddled with the fragments of sound at the beginning (from 0 - .25 seconds dragged up from about 2500Hz to around 6500 Hz and amplitude boosted, faint whistle) and fragments at the end (amplitude boosted).

Tzzzzzzzzaa.wav

'Tzzzaaa' broken into five separate frequency ranges. Analysed at 60Hz, the first three chunks are as they should be frequency wise but the third and fourth chunk have been dragged down from 14000+Hz. The sequence is then repeated from just after 3 seconds. I've time stretched all of them forward (the first chunk also frequency transposed), then lassoed a dark droplet from between 6500 - 7000Hz and plopped it in the four gaps around 500Hz and up, each a slightly different frequency.

SlowWithVup[6].wav

'Slow With Vup'. Analysed at 10Hz and with liberal use of the time stretch tool. A frequency transposition at around the 10 second mark around 6000 - 8500Hz. The white space around .5 of a second is massively stretched and remnants of it are poking out the end, also at around 10 seconds and 1500 - 4500 Hz.

SlowTypewriter[54].wav

SlowTypewriter with time stretch and frequency shift.

PeakyCrinkles.wav

Peaky Crinkles should now be called Freaky Dog Sniff With Bird and Boing! To create this sample, I copied a rectangular selection and pasted it three times in linear fashion around 2, 8, & 13 second (no equation, totally random!). The fourth paste is just before 16 seconds at a much lower frequency than the rest, then stretched.

PaperSaw.wav

'Paper Saw' becomes 'Paper Hacksaw With Bloops' by way of selecting everything between 0 - 1500(ish)Hz and 2500 - 4000Hz and moving the two sections together to about 22000Hz. As you can see, it has dragged a little of the remaining section between 1500 and 2500Hz up there with it. I have then selected some stronger strands and dragged them all down to zero together.

My kind of fun.
