Yesterday I got a new music app on my phone: Flip Sampler. I played around with it a bit, and then last night at 1 AM, I couldn’t sleep. So I thought, “time for round two!” I recorded my pillow falling flat, a pillowcase swoosh, a snap, and a lampshade. I played with the sounds for a few minutes and my mind was absolutely blown.
The entire process took 20 minutes at most. I didn’t even need to leave my bed. A whole world of new possibilities opened around me. I don’t necessarily need gear to make music. The idea that I could record a pillow with my phone and turn it into a sick kick drum: infinitely cool. The idea that I could slap a lampshade and then play the sound on a keyboard: infinitely cool. This is the most fun I’ve had with sounds and music in a long time.
The series: make something musical every day for 30 days.
