An improvisation to see what foley sounds can be produced using a GM Designs Cymbal on top of a timpani, utilising ping pong balls, super ball mallets, a bass bow and metal Korean chopstick. The aim is to create an eerie, dark soundscape.
00:00 - Evelyn introduces the GM Designs Cymbal
00:40 - ...and then improvises bringing a dramatic, sometimes haunting, sometimes echoing, sometimes screechy series of sounds which feel like an alien planet
02:55 - Evelyn speaks about her social media, today's video, and subscribing options
03:28 - Suggestions on what to watch next
Transcript: Well, this is a wonderful creation by GM Designs, and it's like a sculptural cymbal or gong, whatever you would like to call it, but it really is quite beautiful to look at and amazing to explore.
So, I'm just going to pop it gently on top of this timpani and have it hanging over a little bit. And uh and I'm just going to explore using a couple of ping pong balls. And so this is just more foley creation, you know, building a fairly dark landscape.
[Evelyn uses a variety of tools toΒ explore the possibilities, creatingΒ a darkly strange soundscape]
Video description: Evelyn is stood beside her 52-inch timpani, and places a GM Designs Cymbal on top of it, leaving it to hang just over the edge. She then uses a variety of tools to explore the possibilities, creating a strange and occasionally frightening soundscape.
