ICE FOLEY
Recently froze a bunch of ice cubes to track some Foley for an ad. The action occurs off camera, so I was able to get creative as to exactly what happens. The pressure was on once the ice was frozen, of course, so I documented as much as I could before it all melted. Eventually I got all granular with the intimate friction of the cubes against each other. By the time I was done, it felt like I didn’t have hands anymore.
BEHOLD: THE ORGANAIRE!
My mother-in-law found this at the Salvation Army in Albert Lea, MN and texted me to ask if I wanted it. 8 dollars. I said sure, I’ll pay you back. Turns out that with her senior discount, it was only 6 bucks! Maybe the intonation is intentional, like a reed organ, but whatever the case it sounds delightfully dilapidated, lending an instant patina to anything I play on it. Thanks Joan!
