Sound Clip: Ten Canisters of Pressurized Tetrafluoroethane Over Three Weeks by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros

‘Ten canisters of pressurized tetrafluoroethane over three weeks’ is a 7″ record by the Barcelona-based computer music project EVOL. This is their 100% first acoustic release, and it features 2 pieces for hand-held gas horns realized at the Music Research Centre, University of York, November 2008. Recorded using two Neumann U87 microphones and a Shure SM58 on custom-rigged pendulum. The record is made of red vinyl, just like the horns.

    Superb! I love the oscillating quality of those sounds and the way that they are not exactly matched in pitch. It creates a super interesting chorus effect.

    Sounds like UFOs :o

    I stopped over to check out your blog theme as it was linked on the support site – from there I had to listen to all this weird stuff. Crazy art!
