The New Year's Eve 2011 "sonic exposition"

Hi there.

Not sure how much fireworks there are in other countries for New Year's Eve cellebration. But I think it may be a good time of a year now to try this.

So, all of the presented sounds have been created by convolving modified sine sweeps. By "modified", I mean that they were effected with something that can't be mathematically modelled using static convolution -- like flangers, speed changes, distortion, and so on.

The interesting thing about it is that if I know the exact speed of the sweep I was using for it all, I can actually recover the effected sweeps by convolving the whole thing with the same sweep played backwards. :-)

Here are the links for both the "scifi-like" part and the "explosion-like" part:

If you're interested in uncompressed files, let me know and I'll make temporary links separately.

So, all the best in 2012!
