I rented out a small electromagnetic microphone to record some sounds for the robot game we are working on currently. I was attempting to think of sounds that would suit the aesthetic of the artwork presented and the theme of the game. I thought that electronic sounds recorded with this microphone pickup is perfect for these sorts of sounds and I went around the house exploring the electromagnetic space within.
I recorded numerous applicants around the house and a few sounded amazing. I recorded myself turning the washing machine on and off and the sound is made with a modulated pitch going up and down is perfect for this game. As well as other sounds that fit in perfectly. I’m going now to edit and add reverberation for the game and create a few stock sounds for the MA students to use in their game and to receive feedback on.
