Noisevember Day 30 - Finale
I went with a fanfare as it felt appropriate. This was so much fun and I learned a lot over the course of the month!

Noisevember Day 29 - Q
"Bouncy" patch on @kilohearts.com phaseplant. It’s just a sawtooth wave and a sample of a jawharp each with a modulated filter with a high “Q” setting. The upper register sounds like character dialogue in the style of animal crossing.

Noisevember Day 28 - ?!
This instantly made me think of the iconic alert sound from metal gear, so I decided to try to recreate it, which turned out to be way tougher than I thought. including the original for comparison.

Noisevember Day 24 - Skeumorphic
Tricky one today. Made a digital meditation bell from a recording of the bowl from a stand mixer, with a sine wave doubling upper overtones.

Noisevember Day 23 - Wildlife
Recently got phase plant so thought I’d try designing a tiger sound from some noise generators. Might sound a little more like a thunderstorm, but oh well 😅 So much you can do with the modulators!

Noisevember Day 22 - Silky
Not sure how silky this is, but this track is what I came up with after trying to design a "silky" patch. All (3) tracks come from chipsynth 64 and in the video you can see how you can switch between frames to create a fun bassline

I’ve named my friend’s dialogue character “lil guy.” Poor lil guy got dropped into a vat of acid!
Note: no actual lil guys were harmed in the making of this sound

Noisevember Day 20 - Deja Vu
Went for a full on dream sequence this time (because seeing deja vu as a prompt again gave me semi-actual deja vu!)
Still digging into what chipsynth 64 can do with transposition and wave shape automation inside the plug in.

Noisevember Day 19 - Plant Based
Had fun recording myself crushing a jalapeno, kale and grapes, but wanted to avoid the obvious gore, so I turned the sounds into a futuristic computer like one in Chrono Trigger’s future. Included unprocessed sound for fun/comparison

Noisevember Day 18 - Hairy
This was a tricky one for me! I interpreted hair to be noise (sort of the sound hair makes when it moves?) I also had an instructor in college who called dissonant chords “hairy”, so I threw in some dissonance at the end.

Noisevember Day 17 - Stutter
Made a patch on infinite flow that was sort of bouncy using flutter and delay, but the “stutter” wasn't random, so I sent it to soundtoys’ tremolator and drew in some random rhythms and faded out the initial patch

My friend sent me a great recording of him playing with his dog. Turned her into a monster. Mostly used Dehumaniser but also had fun automating some ring mod sends to give individual growls more personality. I love creature design but there’s so much to learn!

Noisevember Day 11 - Looming
Played around with a pretty deep plugin that I haven’t used much (Chipsynth C64 by plogue). Will keep tweaking this preset but I learned a lot! The lower register has some fun digital distortion and is more sound design-y while the higher register is more musical

I had fun playing with dialogue yesterday, so I included another clip my friend recorded for me. Deja Vu always feels like something weird is going on with time so I tried to give an impression of time slowing and returning to normal.

Used mostly Silen Audio Infinite Flow synth for this. Fun because there are so many oscillator choices. Also included the sound of a can being crushed. Tried to make it feel like the pressure is rising

I’ve been enjoying recording source material for the sounds i’m sharing. I made this audio logo-ish sound from things recorded around the house (a large coin, a mixing bowl and the sound of tapping on a small harp's soundboard)
