trumpet sounds..and other audio + ocarina recording
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008tania or steve do you know the name of the mayan trumpet instrument? according to this article they are called “Hom-Tahs”.. http://www.geocities.com/rvelaz.geo/bonampak/hom.htm
if i can hear a recording of one i should be able to get a sound close to it…which would be great, then i can layer it up with everything else.
also here is a recording i have done of the ocarina..the file is of me playing, just testing out the sound…if you like this then i will work out a nice theme and record with some percussion and some loops on its own.
it sounds very haunting with the reverb, would be perfect using that for moments in the temple and/or jungle? or maybe add it to the market soundscape…
