tarsier888 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 i love this track, but i have been wondering, what is the little background fuzzing sound at the beginning? i love it, it sounds like tipping over an hourglass filled with little tiny crystals which make music when they rub together i don't know, maybe i'm strange.. but either way i've been wondering what the sound is, do you guys know what i'm talking about? i'm sure you all know what music making crystals in an hourglass sounds like.. so how do you think that sound was made? it might be something really simple, if so, tell me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 sounds like some static or something could be a sample even. either way, the track fucking roxxors my boxxorz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nene mcgriff burger Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I love that sound as well. I don't make music, but it sounds digital in origin to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Iain C Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 It's a lovely sound. BoC are lords of sound design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twiddler Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 it may be just a side effect of downsampling - at 22.5 kHz - of the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzado Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I don't make music, but it sounds digital in origin to me. i don't think so. i think it's simply the warm saturation of the bass amp compressed. it's a warm fuzz that is purely analogue. those are real, imperfect vibrations that you hear.

Alzado Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 yeah, you couldn't compress a line-in feed enough to maximize the fuzz without destroying the bass notes. i would agree that it's atmospheric hum that's being picked up. and the acoustic suggestion might be right, as those bass notes are soft in the way they resonate, probably not amped.

spptrl alt del Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 it's nice. it reminds me of sound (distortion?) that's on some beats on Amerikkka's Most Wanted and some older anticon beats. that warm fuzzy texture thats got the nicest quality. peacock tail is a lovely track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene mcgriff burger Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I think I misunderstood what sound you were talking about. are you talking about that one note that is echoed at the beginning? if so, it sounds like it could be someone running their fingers over the coiled strings of a guitar, or possibly an animal of some kind. or are you referring to something else?
