Arbitrarily Shaped Drums - 3/3

Videos made as part of Lewis Wolstanholme’s Arbitrarily Shaped Drums project. I received a library of samples of synthesized drum sounds and I had to create music using them.

“Arbitrarily shaped drums are a strange family of percussion instruments and a wholly meta-physical construction in this contemporary setting. These percussive instruments possess a number of interesting musical characteristics resulting from their particular geometric designs. As it currently stands, these instruments remain largely unexplored throughout musical practice, as they were originally devised as a collection of hypothetical mathematical objects. These datasets serve to sonify these objects so as to explore these conceptual constructions in the audio domain.”
