"Sigil" Reel 1: Harmonics

Created by Nathan Moody, formatted for use in the Make Noise soundhack Morphagene.

This is one of two Morphagene Reels made from one-of-a-kind handmade electro-acoustic instruments and found objects created by sound designer and musician Nathan Moody, an outgrowth of his 2018 album, "The Right Side of Mystery."

This reel is focused on harmonic content from bowed and rubbed springs and handmade stringed instruments. The instruments were performed with bows, plectrums, rubber mallets, guitar slides, and more.They were recorded with handmade pickups and contact microphones through an AwTAC Channel Amplifier 500 series preamp. The textures are harmonically rich and hold up well to extreme Varispeed manipulation, with timbres that range from blissfully musical to horrifyingly atonal.
