Held Forth

[mp3, ogg]

I made this by repeatedly scrubbing a timbale sample in AudioMulch's bubble blower contraption (cf. kickback). The drum is thus transformed from being a something struck to mark tempo to being a symbol in a cipher, swiped back and forth over the read head like a key past the tumblers in a lock.

Tools: SoftStep, VSampler, AudioMulch, Acid
