I was about to cut a chocolate cake and when I moved the plate on the countertop I noticed a very interesting sound.

One side of the plate was free to vibrate because the tiles were not perfectly even, so by applying pressure with one finger and tapping it with another I was able to create some tonal beats. I hope you'll enjoy it!

The recording setup was very simple, Røde NT5, Apogee ONE, Pro Tools 9.

  • Thanks so much for your feedback guys! : )

    Definitely that cake is being noticed a lot, maybe I'll record something by using a chocolate cake as an instrument!

  • Hi it was again one of the creative music making. Want to know what is the config of your laptop, and how do u get such noise free atmosphere? Thanks

  • @tmghunt Thanks, it's a standard MacBookPro late 2008.

    Close miking technique, good microphone and a clean sounding interface, you can see the models in the video description.
