Kitchen Sinkology - Disquiet0345 by morgulbee

Kitchen Sinkology is a trio for violin, cello, and a drum kit sampled from nearly two dozen sounds in my kitchen. Knives chopping, cabinet doors opening and closing, oven and microwaves beeping, pots clanging, aluminum cans crunching, plastic bags rustling, and more. All these sounds are in the drum kit but not all made it into the final mix.

The drum patterns I used were borrowed and tweaked from the MIDI clips included in several Ableton Live add-on packs. I tried to keep the violin and cello parts relatively simple to allow the listener to hear more of the percussion parts.

For those interested in using my drum samples, the audition at the beginning plays the dry samples in General MIDI note order starting at C1 (Bass Drum). Assigning the kit to a GM-mapped drum sequence stands a pretty good chance of sounding decent.
