So this was a quick 25 minute
timed challenge from this afternoon, which isn't the best thing ever, but it was the first real idea playing with my new LeafAudio Soundbox. It's basically a wood box with contact mics inside, with springs, a scratch bad, a kalimba of sorts, and some metal poles that can be played various ways (I need to get a violin bow to really use them). I started making a loop on the Microcosm with it, then played some Digitone and Syntakt parts over that (both of which use Microcosm effects on them). The drums wound up being a little quiet here, but this weekend, I'm gonna sit down without a time limit and really explore the Soundbox via the Microcosm and the Astral Destiny pedals, and see what kind of interesting ambient stuff I can get out of it. I'm excited to use it for freaky horror-movie type stuff, but also just for percussion elements that will be really fun to incorporate.
