Christchurch Earthquake Mw6.3 21st Feb *02011 - Ryan McGee by SeismicSounds published on 2012-04-02T11:23:14Z This Christchurch Earthquake composition is created by Ryan McGee (www.lifeorange.com) in collaboration with D.V. Rogers and uses a single seismic recording from the closest station from seismic waveform data made public via IRIS Wilbur http://www.iris.edu/cgi-bin/wilberII/wilberII_page3.pl?evname=20110221_235142.3.farm&qtrxyrad=Q1_2011///all The piece begins with a build-up of several reversed recordings of the event time stretched and audified at different speeds and rates. We then hear the strong impact from the raw audification followed immediately by a chaotic granulated version emphasizing the loudest points in the impact. We hear a tone fade in that is an extremely time-streched and pitch shifted version of the event with all but the most dominant partials filtered out of the sound. In a way, this is the tone of the event itself. Other versions of this tone will eventually overlap at different pitch intervals. The chaotic granulation gives way to the event played back at several different time-strech factors and synchronous granulations. Timing becomes more and more ordered and apparent until we hear very clear rhythmic granulations and tones leading to a final build-up and ending with a raw audification. ref: https://is.gd/z3rSeq Genre Electronica Comment by Morry woow 2016-03-29T16:36:53Z Comment by JoshBrown that drop is filthy 2014-07-01T00:44:14Z Comment by Ghoufrane Elomami bam bam 2014-01-10T01:21:31Z Comment by Rongxu Qiu beautiful 2014-01-09T17:21:15Z Comment by Pedro Miguel Baptista Great glitch effect! 2014-01-07T23:28:18Z Comment by CybridMonki This is eerily dope 2014-01-07T22:20:04Z Comment by Clint "Kronik" is it just me or did they sample this for the sound effects from transformers 2014-01-07T15:35:34Z Comment by sbroggie Love this! 2014-01-07T05:37:48Z Comment by tahiwanite all the hall piece 2014-01-06T21:50:42Z Comment by Lonelyspeck Weirdly beautiful 2014-01-06T17:05:16Z
