Silverware (disquiet0265) by plusch

I chose the silverware drawer and picked out a serving fork and two serving spoons (one was slotted, the other was not). I recorded each being struck with the handle of a soup spoon. I loaded those recordings into The Mangle for granularization and adjusted settings until I liked the results. Then I tweaked settings on the Spiral sequencer (from the Reaktor library) and sent the notes it generated to The Mangle. The piece starts with the dry recordings, then basic granular sounds are added, and then the sequenced granular comes in. Used a high and low cut with ReaEQ and reverb from Room.
