Creative use of the gate effect: write messages into the waveform

Soundtrack for an art exhibition

An excerpt of the soundtrack loop for an exhibition by a Guadeloupean artist Karib.

The piece is largely based on the high-pitched sound of a reverberating cannon shell casing, which acts like a tuning fork after being fired. In this case, its frequency is about 4400 Hz, or slightly below C#, which corresponds to the wavelength of the casing’s diameter or the cannon’s caliber. The sound is played at different octaves/pitches and processed in various ways. It is mixed with the sound of a Tibetan prayer bell and a temporally lengthened and highly processed sound of a creaking door brings along an organic dynamism.
