To create this sound, I recorded myself taping on my computer keyboard. Then with Audacity I reduced the ambiant sound and I isolated two sounds that were completely different. Then I decided to associate both of them. One remembered me the sound of the plastic games when someone pulled the trigger. And the other one sounded as if there was a notification on a computer.

So, I copied the first sound several times and I added the other sound after it. In order to create a rhythm I added some silence and I repeated the second sound three times. I also modified the low and high sounds to make sure that one sound was louder than the other.

This association made me think of a plastic guns struggle. It reminds me of the aliens war with weird sounds that come from galactic arms.

Typologie/morphologie de P. Schaeffer

Descriptif : Ici on entend à trois reprises des impulsions toniques (N’) avant que ne se fassent entendre plusieurs impulsions complexes (X") répétées.

Masse : On a des sons cannelés, un mélange d’impulsions toniques et d’impulsions complexes qui créent un rythme continu.

Grain : Son numérique, technique, assez aigu. C’est un son qui rappelle l'atmosphère futuriste et l'univers technologique.

Dynamique : Le début du son est assez abrupte car il commence par une série d’impulsions et se termine, telle une boucle, par cette même série d’impulsions. Ce qui confère un rythme soutenu tout au long de l’écoute et renvoie à de l’action et à du mouvement.

Profil mélodique : Les variations sont plutôt sous la forme dun escalier. Sauf qu’au moment de monter la troisième marche, c’est comme si nous étions bloqués sur la seconde. Le profil mélodique vient s’échelonner entre cette première et seconde marche de l’escalier.
