Ice Machine [disquiet0262] by dascott

This is my fourth time creating a track for this first project of the year. I used two types of recorded ice sounds: short, one-shot, and longer rattling. In this piece I created three layers:
1) A fast-moving line of short sounds, randomly panned to one of four locations
2) A highly-transposed line of the longer rattling sounds, placed at random locations in the simulated room, moving at 1/3 the speed of the top line
3) A low-transposed set of the longer rattles, played in pairs with slightly different transposition to generate some phasing effects.
All lines are processed by room simulation software set to a long, quiet reverb.
All sounds were processed and mixed using RTcmix software instruments.
