20 Contact Microphone Experiments - A Collection of my Favorite Instagram Reels
Музыка
Here's a roundup of 20 of my favorite contact mic experiments that I've posted to my instagram feed. Many of these are custom-made piezo elements, but quite a few are store-bought elements that are just as fun to play around with.

This is making me want to make music with some of these sounds cause omg a lot of these are perfect for that.
There is truly no limit to discovering the possibilities. Love the rubber ball, and the thawing brick of ice. Can't forget the "talking tree".
The one with the little bouncy ball sounds absolutely amazing! Didnt expect that haha
Wow! 14:56 is so reminiscent of the Star Trek transporter sound! And by the way, I find this whole video quite inspiring. Great work!

Wow! Getting the same buzz off these sounds as I did when I discovered Einstürzende Neubauten back in the 80s. Thanks.
Love the melting ice, never expected that sound

Thank you! I don't mind at all :) :)
what contact microphone did you use when pouring sand on the ground? Can it be purchased, if yes where? can zoom h4 essential or f3 record it
What program do you use?
Are these all your own videos? If so any update on your tutorials with contact mics
Curious what app was being used to add all these effects?

It's Ableton Live
Not exactly a bass Kalimba, it's more of a Spring-a-Ling.
