Awesome sounds Nora! Now I want more tuned percussion.
Have you tried contact-mics on cymbals? Sound very cool, especially through pedals.

I borrowed some singing bowls for a solo drone/ambient gig I did a couple of years ago,
and just remembered I got on camera:

The singing bowls come in at around 12:00.

No idea how you imbed Vimeo, but it sounds great! Thanks for sharing. I really like the guitar bowing parts too. You can bow singing bowls too if you ever get them back.

Do you have any examples of contact mics on cymbals? I would be interested in hearing that. I don't own any cymbals, so it is not something I can try.

Thanks

Only recording I can think right now is this video of Norwegian noise rock trio Staer:

Their (amazing) drummer uses contactmics on some of his cymbals.
This video isn't the best example, but it is there, but so I alot of other noises.
Sounds really fucked when it is heard live in concert, super loud! Earcrushing!

But you can do mellow, atmospheric stuff as well.
I need to get my ass over to our rehearsal space and steal some of my drummers broken cymbals to experiment more.

How do I embed Vimeo-videos?

Like that.

Remove the "s" from "https". Add "www." before "vimeo".

Since my last videos were so popular around here, I decided to post a new video with my new toy I got today.

There's no way I can compete with a self-proclaimed intuitive musician. I'm out.

[Chankgeez]

It's alright, baby, you keep doin' what you do.

[Ugly Nora]

That's all I can do at this point. I did subscribe to his channel as I am curious to see what he comes up with. I have a feeling it may be a bit too new-agey and too heavy on the chakras and self-importance for my liking though.

Some blizzard blues.
