Samples

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).
