#AudioMo Day 30 part 2: Here's an honorary mention.
I came up with this slow, plodding, barely moving thing about an hour ago and called it 'Incandescent Heat' because that's about all I can manage today.
It feels sad, contemplative and like saying farewell, so it seemed fitting to post again before the month runs out. Or in this case, slowly shuffles out in it's hot slippers like the old man it is.

#AudioMo 28:

When times were better, my partner and her family used to go to the Bronx zoo almost every weekend. I only did this a few times.

One such time, October 5, 2013, I recorded this from just outside the sea lion pool. ?Captured with a pair of Sound Professionals MS-BMC3 microphones on glasses and an Olympus LS14 recorder. The image is what I would consider quasi-binaural, best heard with headphones.

#AudioMo day23:

Did you know that there is hidden morse code all throughout Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells' album?

Somehow, probably during the two-track mix-down stage of the album, the CW from a powerful, very low frequency transmitter about 37 miles north of the studio in which this album was recorded found it's way to tape. It's centered at 16 kHz, and so low in the mix that you can't actually hear it... at least, not without some help.

This is a very short, not particularly comprehensive demo using two different methods -- a pair of stock Reaper plugins and an SDR package to mostly isolate this morse transmission, which is heard throughout the entire album.

#AudioMo Day 23: I've been thinking about this for a few days, and finally got around to making it happen.
I decided I would take an electromagnetic pickup, plug it into my recorder and capture the sound of my electric toothbrush directly.
I take that sound into an audio editor, top and tail it, add that to Ableton Move as a sample, then turn it into a melodic instrument.
This is the result of that.
It's not long, but it's an idea of sorts.

#AudioMo day 20: More ringtones! This one was made in March of 2021 and is called On The Move. It was also inspired by a sound, namely the bass patch, which is a modified version of the Phat Funk patch from the Korg Arp Odyssey plug-in. I was playing with it and came up with this bassline. This one has two versions. The original version of it had no arp stabs and no lead. When I was later advised to add those, I made a lite version, which includes the arp stabs but mutes the lead, which you hear first. Then you hear the regular version. Both of these can be found for iOS and Android at x0box.xyz/uploads/ringtones

#AudioMo day 19: Sorry for my absence, we were on vacation but unfortunately didn't get the chance to really record anything to put here. So now I'm pulling things up from the archives. This here is a ringtone I made in 2020 called Unify, inspired by a patch from Soundspot's Union called "Big Pants Lead," which I'm using as the chord patch here. For how simple it is, just the chords, a bass and some drums, all pretty basic, this thing is ridiculously catchy IMO. My mom still uses this as her phone's ringtone to this day.
You can get this ringtone for yourself, in iPhone or Android format, at x0box.xyz/uploads/ringtones

#AudioMo day 19:

Because the thing I wanted to post today didn't work out, I'll throw this here instead.

In late July of 2016, I was visiting my parents. They were getting ready for a move, and thus, were about to toss a bunch of stuff, including a bunch of old hard drives. The newest of these was probably 10 or 20GB, and the oldest was 80MB. Most of them didn't calibrate.

So, just because I could, I recorded exactly 30 seconds of each hard drive being powered on, regardless if it calibrated or not, then stacked them all. Result is this clicky clacky thing I called "a Bad Day in the Server Room."

I can't find the original multi-track project, so I am not sure how many hard drives are featured in this recording. I'm pretty sure it is at least 15. Have fun trying to count them all.

This was recorded with a Zoom H6 and it's X/Y microphones.

#AudioMo 18:

This is a silly sequence thing I did in the early morning hours of October 11, 2015, using an Arturia Microbrute and a Korg ARP Odyssey, both analog sequencers, in combination with a Digitech Studio Quad IV processor. I made a very basic sequence using the Microbrute's onboard step sequencer, connected the CV pitch and gate outputs from the Microbrute to the Odyssey, turned on the sequencer, then just played with a bunch of sliders and knobs, including filters, envelopes, effects sends, panning and tempo, all while this simple sequence that really seems to enjoy moving around in fourths continues.

It's nothing that was ever meant to be anything real. Just me messing around on a boring Sunday morning.

I love #AudioMo the fact it is still going 15 years after the first public variant of it is amazing. It has survived various platform collapses and social media changes. This isn’t down to me, this is down to a community that wants to connect still. All those that have moved across platforms and audio apps just to keep doing this challenge are amazing, you all inspire me and remind me how amazing humans are.

#AudioMo day 17: the Low Effort Noise Machine.

On January 3, 2025, I walked around my parents house with my Soma Labs Ether connected to a digital recorder, and captured about 17 minutes of electronic noises. I then divided that audio into 8 equal length tracks, and went wild with effects, mostly filters, panning, and other LFO-driven stuff. The result is 2 minutes and 9 seconds of what I call the low effort noise machine.

Don't click this if weird buzzy things freak you out.

#AudioMo Day 17: One of the more ridiculous things I've ever posted.
I call it 'A Box Of Numpty.'

This message is threaded, and the original message contains the text I wrote, which I've now had voiced by #ElevenLabs new Alpha model. You can add special tags to the text, so the audio becomes more natural-sounding apparently.
Given that I think a certain person is nothing but an AI hallucination anyway, I thought I'd ask another AI (Google Gemma3 in this case) to extend my writings further, which I did. I then used a voice clone of me to have it read out, and well, this is the result. Somehow it seems fitting.
The original message contains all the text I wrote, and the voice clone reads that, plus the extended section.
Alt-text contains the new text written by Google Gemma 3.

#AudioMo Day 16: In December of 2013 I visited #Estonia to go and visit @jakobrosin for the first time.
I decided to record as much of the plane-flight from the baggage hold as I could manage, so I set my Olympus LS-100 going, attached some mics to the suitcase straps internally and sent it on it's way.
Here, we have 9 minutes of what I like to call 'Ethereal Suitcase Music' as it wends it's merry way from baggage check-in to the plane.
Listen for the really strange and as yet unidentified noises the recorder captured at points along it's journey.
If you have any ideas what these might be, I'd be very curious. I've been waiting for over 11 years to find out.

#AudioMo day 15:

Remember when computers sounded like this?

For some reason, on August 6, 2007, I stuck my Zoom H4 in front of the old, even for the time, Compaq Deskpro Pentium III computer in my bedroom, which, at the time, was running FX Radio on Windows 2000. It had two hard drives, both Western Digital. The operating system was on a 10GB 5400 RPM drive, and the media was on a 30GB 7200 RPM drive.

In which I take you through my favourite sounds found within Rhodes Anthology from Rhodes Music.
We also skim through the NKS parameters so that if you wish to use it this way, you know what you can expect from the mapping.

I'm also treating this as my #AudioMo Day 15 post as well.

#AudioMo Day 12 (because I haven't been bothering to actually label these with the day, for some reason:

On the late afternoon of August 5, 2010, we had quite a thunderstorm, during which, an ice cream van was driving around the neighborhood playing Christmas tunes. Someone didn't get the memo, I guess.

When it played 'Silent Night' during this very not silent thunderstorm, I kind of lost it. I can even be heard in this recording attempting to suppress my having lost it, before running away and closing the door, so I could bust out laughing somewhere else, and not mess up the recording.

This was produced with an Olympus DM-520 connected to an Audio Technica AT-822 single-point stereo microphone hanging out of a bathroom window. As I recall, the positioning of the microphone was not optimal, so I did some re-processing of the stereo image.

#AudioMo When I decided to go watch our local actors in training perform a short stage play called "Vamptopia" I certainly didn't expect this quite impressive variation of "Part of your world" from the Little Mermaid to happen. I'm pretty happy to have witnessed it, and luckily for you, I've had my trusty stealth recording kit with me. Although the intro is in German, no worries, the actual song starts at 00:51.

#AudioMo day 9:

One day in 2007, I walked into my university's student union to discover one of the school jazz bands playing in the pit area. Turns out this was a regular occurrence every Thursday at 1 PM. I, of course, had a recorder and mics in my backpack and quickly set them up, and made sure to do that as many times as I could for the next year or so.

Here's a tune called "Hoodle Doodle" as performed by the UNT 3 O'Clock Lab Band from February 15, 2007.

#AudioMo day 8: another test with the long defunct IXY microphone from June 23, 2014. This takes place in a server room at a previous employer in which loud computers and a Braille embosser were available.

I usually don't post during #AudioMo but I went to a great organ concert today and captured it with my stealth recording kit. I thought the results where pretty nice for what they are, so I guess here's the Sarabande by Georg Friedrich Händel, recorded on the 2000 Kleis organ located in the Händel House in Halle (Saale), Germany. Its the biggest organ in Halle I think with 4200 pipes. Sounds pretty impressive, let me tell you. A few more recordings follow in the thread.

This is one I posted a couple of years ago, but I've had new followers since then.

In March of 2010, I set up an always streaming set of microphones at my childhood home, then using an old, small form factor Pentium III desktop computer running Windows XP. In the late summer of 2014, I installed a similar setup at my New York apartment, this time using an old laptop running Windows 7.
In 2015, I switched to a Raspberry Pi 2 model B running Liquidsoap, added 24/7 archiving, and installed a second, nearly identical setup at the New York apartment.

I had to take the New York stream down when we moved five years ago, and my parents' have moved since then, but the stream there still exists.

What follows is a presentation highlighting some of the more unusual things these streaming setups recordedover a period between 2011 and 2020.

For those interested in such things, the live audio stream of my parents' back yard lives here:
