indy4 152 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What is that weird sound at 1:39? Is it a trumpet doing some weird sort of tonguing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,971 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Those are two trumpets played by Michele Lacerenza and Francesco Catania, one on Bb or C trumpet and the other on piccolo trumpet. Lots of double tongueing, with each call slightly overlapping the other. That gunshot-like sound you hear in the studio recording is a 'Rastrophone' (an instrument 'devised' by fellow Italian composer Mario Nascimbene, which he later admitted was none other than a garden rake!) processed through heavy spring reverb.

Sharkissimo 1,971 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Just musique concrète. No synths.Listen to a suspended spring drum. Similar concept, similar sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,514 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Aren't the trumpets pitch altered to sound higher? And even fastened a bit, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
