FALLOT_Roxane_2018_2019_taking_pills.wav

To create this song I recorded several pieces of sounds that I mixed together. First I recorded myself opening a can of pills and some boxes, then I poured water in a glass and I recorded myself drinking some of it. I wanted this sound to suggest that someone was preparing his meds before taking them with some water. That’s why I kept the best parts, where we heard more easily what I wanted to express. I reduced the noise (around 12dB for the glass and the opening parts, a bit less with the drinking because the sound was a bit lower). I used the compressor effect (threshold : -20dB, noise level : -40dB, Ratio : 3.1, release : 1.8) because the part with the glass had too much peak and I normalized a tiny bit (10dB) in order to make the drinking part more audible.

Descriptif selon la typologie/morphologie de P.Schaeffer :

Cet objet sonore est à la fois une impulsion complexe X’ et une impulsion variée V’, ce son est un groupe nodal. Le timbre harmonique est, selon moi, changeant à mesure de l’écoute, il commence brillant et se ternit petit à petit, tout comme son grain est d’abord lisse avant de gagné en rugosité. Il ne comporte pas de vibrato. Son attaque, tout en étant abrupte, est entraînante et se fait sans violence. Le profil mélodique est davantage scalaire qu’il n’est glissant. Il y a une équalisation.
