Dictaphone Parcel

Dictaphone Parcel from Lauri Warsta on Vimeo.

"Animated short film, Royal College of Art, London, 2009 Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary. Dictaphone Parcel was awarded the Passion Pictures Prize in London, in February 2010. cargocollective.com/lauriwarsta" via Music of Sound

Voice to Spirit : Synth Session 03

YouTube via voicetospirit | September 23, 2010 "I was watching this video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Offwev... [posted here] And was inspired to see what I could do. I started off by splitting the drums to a clean channel, a ring mod channel, and the bit reduction channel. I used my instrument interface with its threshold to set the gate for envelope/amplifier for the oscillators. The frequency that the drums are being bit reduced and the X input to the ring mod is tracked to the keyboard, as wel as the frequency of the low pass filter. It turned out to be a fun project. The modular is passing through a Lexicon MX200 and a Behringer Bass V-amp Pro. Modular: Synthesizers.com Drum: Casio RZ-1 Circuit Bent"
