I began to experiment with the synthesisers on the workbench. I didn’t really know how to use it, but I got the gist of it after playing around with it for a while. I didn’t really have an aim in mind for a specific type of sound I wanted to create, It was mostly just experimentation.
I fiddled around with most of the LFO’s and parameters, recording everything I was doing. I had an idea of what was what from other synths I had used in the past – the sine, sawtooth and buzz waves were all familiar, as were the filters etc.
After a while of tweaking around, I got certain sounds that I liked, that fit with the “mechanical” sounds I wanted to incorporate within my piece. I found ways to get really low bass sounds, make them “wobble” and more buzzy. I also found really high pitched sounds that I could use for the stereo side.
I aim to use the recording by chopping it up and using implementing them onto different tracks and speaker channels. I think the sounds recorded could specifically be used for the frontal section of the piece, as well as adding a sense of experimental dynamism to the piece as a whole.
