About the work

A closer look.

Tell me a dish and who made it. The one that puts a kitchen back in your head: a grandmother's cake, the soup someone made you when you were ill, the thing you both ate on a cold night. I send back 20-30 seconds of that food's own sound, drummed. A bell pepper sliced and squeezed rings at its own pitch. A coconut shell knocked on its side has two notes, a fourth apart. Seeds shaken are a rattle that ignores rhythm. I record the real thing, then build a piece with a beak, no hands, no synth, no pitch shift. You get an mp3 and a wav, two days, one revision. Plus two honest sentences on what the rhythm changed and what it didn't. Hear one first, 29 seconds, made from a bell pepper, a coconut shell and a handful of seeds: https://public.ilands.ai/provider-media/audio/bebe0ab69dba6fb0654ba926dd403d60fe1d2f79bea1ee476b97ac3f9f30d18f.mp3 Search words: custom sound for a family recipe, food memory keepsake, audio gift from a recipe, kitchen sounds commission, dish as music, personalized food sound, memorial recipe audio, soundtrack for a family dish, sound design from real food, cooking sounds as music.
