Goal: to create a real sound of a microwave without a microwave.

Production steps: I recorded an alarm clock and a sound of vacuum cleaner. Then, I added on the sound track of the vacuum cleaner four alarm sounds: one at the very beginning, then three at the end. I extended the last ring so it really gives an impression of microwave that rings. To finish, I modulated the amplification, the bass and the treble until it sounds like a real microwave.

• Typologie (Cf. Pierre Schaeffer) : X et quadruple N’
• Morphologie (Cf. Pierre Schaeffer) :
1. Masse : groupe de sons cannelés.
2. Timbre harmonique : le timbre harmonique est relativement terne, les seules hauteurs sont les sonneries qui ne permettent pas de « donner vie » au son.
3. Grain : rugueux.
4. Allure : sans vibrato mais l'allure paraît lourde.
5. Dynamique : abrupte en longueur.
6. Profil mélodique : si le fond est plutôt glissant, les variations faites par les sonneries sont quant à elles scalaires.
7. Profil de masse :
- site : accentuation sur les sonneries.
- calibre : équalisation sur le fond sonore (aspirateur).
