Ice In Glass (disquiet0314) by plusch

In Audacity, I opened two “ice in a glass” files recorded for last year’s Cold Start project. I removed silence between ice clinks and selected eight seconds from each file, then combined those into one stereo file. I loaded that file into Kaivo’s granulator section and patched things until it sounded interesting to me. I saved the Kaivo patch, then opened it inside of Obscurium. I adjusted Obscurium’s sequencer settings until I liked the result, then recorded Obscurium’s sequencer driving Kaivo’s sounds while I played some notes. With that result loaded in a track, I rolled off the lowest and highest frequencies, then applied three modulated effects from Unfiltered Audio: Dent 2 for crunchiness, Zip for compression, and Sandman Pro for some delay. That result was treated with volume modulation from ShaperBox, reverb from ValhallaRoom, and some ReaXcomp to glue things together. Finally, I added some pan modulation with ShaperBox, then trimmed and normalized in Audacity.
