Stages of Production :
Hybrid sound, half synthetic and half recording.
The recorded sound is one of a silver ring striking a metal ashtray, with very few modifications to make it more “robotic”. ( First sound heard)
Sound to which I punctually added a synthetic frequency of 392 hz to create this kind of very aggressive alarm.
I modified the frequency by changing at the same time the height, and the tempo. I also added a reverberation and a fade out to make it fit in.
As regards the final explosion, I combined a white noise and the “wahwah” effect proposed by Audacity.

This sound corresponds, at first, to the ultimate alarm system, warning of an imminent danger. I added the explosion at the end, so that the notion of danger can be well understood.

Descriptif (selon la typologie de Schaeffer) :

Selon la typologie de Schaeffer, l’objet sonore créé enchaîne plusieurs impulsions toniques (N’) et se termine sur un continu complexe (X)
Code correspondant : N’ puis X

Analyse morphologique de l’objet sonore :
1) Masse
Les sons proposés peuvent, selon moi, être qualifiés de « groupes toniques » suivi d’un « son seul complexe. »

2) Timbre harmonique
Le premier aspect qui me vient à l’esprit à l’écoute de ce son, est une matière éclatante, nette et filiforme. (pour l’alarme)
Puis un aspect, éclaté, brouillon, poussiéreux (pour l’explosion).

3) Grain
Le son est lisse et pointu. J’irais même jusqu’à dire affûté. (pour l’alarme)
Il est très rugueux pour l’explosion.

4) Allure
Des sons nets et fugaces, pas de vibrato.

5) Dynamique
L’attaque est violente, démarrant directement sur un son agressif.

6) Profil Mélodique
J’imagine que l’on peut parler de variations scalaires entre les 6 premiers sons (enregistrés puis modifiés) et le 7ème (synthétisé depuis Audacity).

7) Profil de Masse
Site. Variations de hauteurs très agressives qui incluent un sentiment d’urgence, et qui se terminent sur un continu complexe très identifiable.
