household items

during christmas break my cousin reece and i decided to do some recording together just for fun.  we spent a few hours recreating an electronic song we made a year earlier with entirely acoustic instruments, and various household items.  all of the percussive tracks through the entire song were created using household items.  we used and layered the sounds of a book slamming shut, slapping two wooden cutting boards together, shuffling cards, whisks slapping various items, bumping silverware, and a shaker.  it was really fun to walk around my house hitting things together and trying to find the sound we were looking for.  when we were done with the percussion tracks, we layered bass, acoustic, and electric guitars on top of that.  the song turned out better than we ever could have hoped, and it was a ton of fun to make.  check it out:
