experiments with percussion

Tabla Bot

TABLABOT is an experimental/avant-garde/weird ambient album composed and produced by psaiclone, released in 2009 by MASCHINENMUSIK. The album features live recordings of mangled and effected percussion instruments that have been carefully edited and processed with modular sound effects and granular pitch-shifting delays. This creates a unique sound that shifts the mood from percussive rhythmic elements to ambient and droney realms.

TABLABOT is a great example of how pitch-shifting and other digital effects can be used creatively to produce unique sounds. 
Pitch-shifting is a technique that lowers or increases the pitch of an audio recording
TABLABOT shows the use of granular pitch-shifting delays and granulated reverbs to create a mind-warping sound design trip.
