Cymbals My son recently took delivery of his (1st?) drum kit; which has some wonderful cymbals - I never realised they could be so musical as well as percussive! So after playing and exploring them it was time to get out the microphones of course! The samples, which were then sculpted and manipulated formed a nice basis for a track. Kyma (from SymbolicSound) was used to track brightness and amplitude which drove a Quartz Composer composition (Based on a composition from the Kineme forum but can't recall which one; see attached).

Nice one. Can I suggest it would be very cymbal to have a concave looking shape as well as the convex shape. Your lighting which I guess is just a gradient not actual GLSL on a 3D object makes it look convex on both sides when it spins. Cymbal change hopefully.
so is kyma sick ? i want to try it sometime. i don't know anyone who uses it. well camile at osculator was trying to sell his system last year but even second hand its steep in price. the audio morphing sounds great.
i rarely sample anymore as i can play all my own instrumentation but the kyma sample effects are pretty tight.
Kyma is the Quartz Composer for audio and can do a lot more besides playing samples ;-)
