How are you creating these sounds? I love them!
Thanks :)
The lead is a watercan somewhat similar to this one:

but made of plastic. I 'played' it using a wet towel on the handle.
This caused the partly water-filled body to resonate, an effect I
discovered while cleaning the living room :)
I can honestly say that I would never have thought of using a wet
towel and a watering can to make music, let alone to clean my living
room :)
There are some effects on it, but they don't alter
the sound much.
The wet signal is fed through a delay before the reverb to have a
big room without muddying up the main signal. That's what it's
supposed to achieve, at least :)
Everything else is made of samples from my Windows days, as this
thing started as a Cubase session (without the can). Quite a number
of effects on it, most notably several instances of an Auto Phaser.
The idea behind it was and is to make some kind of alien ethno
music :)
Well, it certainly sounds like it. You should create some sample
packs - there are some very beautiful sounds in there that the rest of
us probably wouldn't happen upon or imagine.
