Do you guys ever try putting a bunch of effects or strange settings on acoustic instruments (pianos, guitars, strings) until they sound totally different from the original sound, maybe even to where you can't tell anymore whether the original source is a synth or something else? Boards of Canada are pretty famous for doing this in cool ways.
Here's something I did with some short piano phrases, as an example:
Piano stuff
I made it by putting some delay and reverb on piano phrases, reversing them in an audio editor, then playing them in a sampler, sometimes at half speed and lower pitches than they were originally at.
Here's something done with guitar sounds:

Here's an ambient sound made using piano:

Tried doing this stuff before? |

I think Kontakt 2 library has something called Prepared Pianos and the Kontakt Experience Expansion has something like Guitarized which basically is half-mangled pianos and guitars. Ive tried em in trance tunes and some fits quite nice into the genre with a bit of manipulation. And if u tweak em just some more they will sound completely different from their acoustic origin.
Nice experiment!
Im not yet a pro, still a preset guy, but i reached the next level where i tweak factory presets :) |
