My friend https://soundcloud.com/peter-hostermann built a mobile piezo preamp for recording sounds directly into my Zoom H1n. For this disquiet, I tried to record stones.
But trying to get sound out of stones turned out to be futile. They may sound, but not as "stones" (whatever I expected stones to sound…). Nevertheless I added my favourite Riviera Hyper-Room Reverb VST in different tracks of recording takes.
Spoken in analogies, the result is more a concrete wall (of huge, cosmic, stable sound), which tries to cover up that it's just a thin wallpaper (of poor contact mic stone recordings). The pads are just some wallpaper paste to glue paper and wall together …
Please consider commenting with links to better stone recording! ;-)
