For over two decades now, every year on Halloween I have prepared unusual, mysterious and often spooky audio recordings.
All of these recordings are created using natural sounds, transcribed into music using specially designed software.
What the software does, is take any natural sound such a that of a running stream, examine it's tonal and rhythm structure and change it into musical notes that represents that structure. Then those musical notes, sometimes quite complex, are loaded into software that generates sound using digital technology. In the case of the above mentioned recording of a running stream, you then have the music of water.
The following list show some of the variety of natural sound sources I have used in this process of transcribing natural sounds into music. Some are self explanatory, descriptions have been added to others.
Avalanche-Blizzard - A mountain snow avalanche during a windy snow storm
Background Radiation - Sounds generated by the background radiation of the universe
Bee Hive
Big Bang - Leftover sounds of the Big Bang
