MusicAnd Online ATELIER SOUND TRIP #1:
The SOUND LABORATORY BOX
Explore the compartments of your sound laboratory box (or create your own soundbox):
1. Compare e.g. the little two shakers
There are two small jars (please close them!) in front of your sound laboratory box.
The one on the right is a plastic one. Shake it. Then, shake the glass one(left hand).
Does the sound differ?

Put the same and other sound objects in the longe tube (see at right of the sound labo): explore and experiment to influence the pitch or the color.
2. The art of timbre
For all sounds, timbre is the full spectrum of a tone (pitch) with its 16 audible parts (harmonics/overtones).
Shake the little glass jar. Explore why you can produce two different timbres with the same content. Look at all compartments of the sound lab, put other contents in the little jar and shake.
Write down your observation to remember or check your experiences.

As a soundman, you will explore all compartments of the soundbox now.
After this activity: don't forget to put back all little sound objects in their right place.
3. From timbre to rhythm
Pick up some seashells, and shake them: just for fun. The sounds produced by the seashells in your hands are interesting only for their rhythmical aspect. When does the timbre morph into rhythm ? Why?

4. Sound cocktail on sound board
Look for surrounding surfaces to move, and put the seashells on. Let the seashells dance on the surface. Combine all compartments of the acoustic sound lab and make a fascinating cocktail of timbres and rhythms.
