On The Road (of noise)

In another forum a nice gut, called MrKnobs, regarding some bit/frequency rates discussions, said that he had the most boring sound samples made for his profession, that are recordings of flat tires running on different pavements and similar stuff. Maybe as a joke I asked him for some samples of those files, and he sent me them, 4 cuts 16bits/44.1khz wave files. Then he commented that he found my rerquest a bit strange.... I rapidly made a track, in which the
only sound sources used are those 4 snippets of test recordings done by MrKnobs. I've transposed, frequency shifted, filtered, sequenced, delayed, frequency modulated and quite heavily manipulated those apparently flat and boring sounds. No other samples, no other oscillators, except for LFO modulation of filters and slow ramps for the FleXor sequencers.
Field recordings by MrKnobs:

Great work, very creative !
And quite educational as well, goes to show how far one can take sound with
the tools available to most of us...

No, the thing you hear as granular is the FleXor SH-1 Destroy filter.

Talk about giving something a litle life,
My Grandson unfortunately likes to watch the Teletubbies, whch means I must, and as painful as it is the only thing making it bearable is the SFX / music / foley artist that takes material and gives it a new twist.
I never heard such soulful noise.
Tricks of the trade.

You should try to do something similar to what alphonso did, but using the 4 teletubbies' voices samples as sound sources..

Please............................It is torturous enough.
I did like Mr.Rodgers Neighborhood though. Sure he seemed like a child molester, but the live piano tracks were phenominal.
I could just hear the Police Cruisers Loudspeaker at the park when they spot him...............................Sir, please drop the candy bar, and step away from the child.
This was a great audio example though, of what one can do in Scope with any source material, or very little.
