Sounds from the Kitchen Vol 2: Drinking Glass
Glass Bells made from a drinking glass
ByMarco Iannello
The story
I was visiting my family in Rome, Italy, over Christmas 2019, and I decided to sample one of the drinking glasses my mum has in her kitchen, with the idea of turning it into something unconventional, for a glass, at least!
I recorded myself hitting the glass with my fingernail into my trusty H1n and obtained 3 different samples: piano, mezzoforte, and forte. I imported the samples in ProTools, normalised and time-stretched them. I applied a good amount of plate reverb to them, as well. This processing is what made the Glass Bells.
For the Glassy Evolutions, I grabbed the forte sample, created a copy of it that I reversed, and then combined the original and reversed samples together. I applied the Crystallizer from SoundToys to create the “evolutions”, and again some plate reverb.
Reviews
Original and unique sound from the kitchen!!
Idea is nice and the sound is great. I really love this kitchen series :
Use the filter for a more mellow sound!
Anothe two patches to include to your kitchen pad collection. These ones feature a bell-like, and very wet sound signature. I find that the main patch works best if you bring in the cutoff filter at around the middle to avoid dealing with the harsher high end, and in regards to the Evolutions, I'd use it without the sequencer, unless I were to program it with perfect quantization, since if you play two slightly notes slightly off, you may create some chaos.
Nice Sound From The Kitchen
Another nice sound from the kitchen. This one is great for creating ambiences. Layer with other sounds for a nice soundscape. Enjoy!
