The story
When I was cooking pasta days ago, I was hearing the sound of boiling water and I decided to recording it and try to make an instrument. The raw sample is composed of a lot high frequency, so I put a low-pass filter and I boosted frequencies of the harmonic series to make a tune note. Then I pitched down and up the sample. Finally, a processed the sample with stereo expander and a lot reverb. The instrument has a 2 knob : Dry volume is the sample without reverb Wet volume is the sample with 100 % of reverb This sound is very deep and tridimensional, you can not only hear it, but also see it ! Enjoy!! :

Different in a good way
Out of the box this is big and powerful, who knew what a pan of pasta water could do in the hands of a skilled samplist? To my mind it feels a bit industrial, somewhat metallic, reminds me of a post apocalyptic soundscape. It'll be fun seeing where I can use this. Thanks.
Surpisingly good
I have to be honest I wasn't expecting much out of boiling water, but was very pleasantly surpised. I especially like the dry wet mix as the boiling sounds actually work nicely to produce an intriguing sound. I can definitely use this.
