An Old Rocking Chair(disquiet0315) by tigrinya

This is my homage to Federico Durand and the lighter, more ambient material of Oren Ambarchi. Both of whom I'm a big fan of.

I took my daughter's small music box and used a contact microphone to record several snippets into my Boss SP-202 sampler. I hadn't used that sampler in quite a while and was pleasantly reminded of it's lo-fi beauty. I played basically random sequences of reversed loops and one shots through reverb and delay and recorded that into my DAW on a single stereo track. I recorded another track of messing around with some small wrench sockets in a tin through two delays and kept that really low in the mix. Finally EQ'd it, bringing up the lows and really cutting a lot of the mids and highs since the 202 lo-fi setting really cuts. Panned it to the left and voila!

Looking forward to the rest of this sequence. Shout out to everyone participating.
