Manipulation of Sound

The manipulation of sound is something that really intrigues me; how a sound can be very natural like a piano or a bell, they each are very different but wholesome. Then you can have them digitally manipulated to reach a new plethora of sound.
This was something I wanted to do on the album as it's something I've been working on ever since I started producing. In 'Moon Connection//I'll Save You Soon' there is a lot of sound design and sound manipulation in it. The second part of the song is from an earlier project I started in the year, I edited it for the album so that some parts are different.
My interest started a few years ago when I started learning about Native Instruments, and some of their synth plug-ins. and that I could (in depth) change a sound to practically anything. And from here on out I've been making my own synth sounds, layering effects on different instruments so they produce a completely different sound. I've made my bass sound like bubbles, birds and a car crash (exciting stuff).
As I knew that the album was going to take on a different form from others, I decided it would be a great idea to implement some of these experiments into the album. Some of these sounds might not be 'nice' to listen to, but it's for the effect of the journey that the album takes you on.
