I like recording short snatches of radio from my Fieldkit and I used one for this week's project. The brief asked for a tortured sound so I performed a variety of mashing, slowing and speeding up, saturating and reverbing until the string sample became a dirty wall of noise. The track starts with the end result and then morphs into the original sample. The audio degradation then proceeds in the order they were applied with the resulting wavs overlapping a little to give a sense of continuity.
