Noises

Creative Texture Instrument

Noises is an experimental instrument with a playful and inspiring interface, built to bring a vast world of noise directly into your music and sound design. Designed in collaboration with German composer Hainbach, it captures hundreds of recordings from rare vintage measurement gear, analog synths, field recordings, and magnetic experiments. Every sound has been carefully crafted to make sonic exploration fast and inspiring, with a central dial inviting you to search for textures and a sequencer that turns noises into music with minimal clicks.

Whether you use it subtly to add coherence to your tracks or creatively as the foundation for entire compositions, Noises adapts seamlessly to scoring, podcasts, games, or sound design sessions. Its interface encourages playful experimentation, letting you trigger sounds, mute, randomize, or sequence them while keeping interaction intuitive and inspiring.

Noise Banks

• Analogue Synths: Captures the unique noise signatures of vintage synths including Minimoog, Roland SH-2, Juno 60, Polivoks, and Crumar DS-2

• Autobahn: Sonic journey from quiet rural areas to the wash of a German highway, inspired by Hainbach’s childhood

• B00GA: Random yet funky rhythms from Hewlett-Packard 8006a word generators wired in stereo

• Bandpass Pulses: Deep tones from military-grade lock-in amplifiers and naval research filters

• Cosmic Chords: Tonal C major chords processed through Juno 60 and test equipment for unusual harmonic textures

• Cosmic Root: Bass-focused bank combining test tone generators, ring modulators, vintage synths, and phasers

• Cosmic Waves: Top-line harmonics, sparkles, and shimmer effects; pitching down reveals strange overtones

• Drum Drones: Audio-rate drum machine sequences producing continuous tones using Formanta UDS

• Electro-Acoustics: Blends acoustic and electric textures from the Macumbista Sound Box recordings

• EMF: Electro-magnetic interference captured with Soma Ether, turning errors into sound

• Filterbank: EMS B-1-II filter enhanced with feedback for extreme resonances

• Flight to MARS: Modified Bontempi M.A.R.S. workstation simulates airplane noises and rare DSP textures

• Military Wires: Revives cleaned-up Cold War-era East German military communications

• Noise-Denoise: Classic digital noise processed with voice-denoising software for spectral textures

• Oddular: Bleeps and sub-bass depth from Mobenthy modular gear

• Pan Step: Glitchy sequences inspired by Pan Sonic, created with modular equipment

• Phaserland: Rare phasers transform test equipment noise into tonal washes

• Soviet Tape: Loops and tones from a 1970s Soviet vacuum tube tape machine with Moog Sonic Six

• Tape Hiss: Authentic tape hiss from machines like Telefunken M15, Nagra 4-S, and Sony 367

• Test Voltages: Complex modulation between noise and carrier from Wavetek Model 132, filtered for harmonics

• Wave Analyzer: Four HP wave analyzers produce musical patterns from subtle residual noise

• Porta Majora: Rare Portacord Omnichord, chords follow the original instrument’s layout

• Analogue Feedback: Tape echoes, filters, and phasers feeding into chaotic modulations

• Octave BBD: Textures from Danish bandpass filters and bucket-brigade reverb across octaves

• Soundscapes Vol.1: Globally recorded samples for deep, atmospheric textures

• Soundscapes Vol.2: Organic binaural recordings from multiple cities, kept unprocessed

• Styro Beach: Sparkling sounds captured from recycled styrofoam using stereo ribbon mics

• Tape Water: Field recordings of rivers, rivulets, and appliances on tape for a 3D sound

• Heavy 8ths: Three German noise generators processed through Wavetek noise, stepped through octaves

• Benjolin: Rob Hordijk’s chaotic Benjolin adapted for endless inspiration

• Studio B: Tape squeals, filter pings, and test equipment rhythms inspired by WDR Studio and Radiophonic Workshop

• Coco: Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 8-bit loopers and analog oscillators create glitchy textures

• Tape Sines: Vacuum tube sine generators through crumpled tape loops, unstable and clicky yet full-bodied

• Acousmonium: French resonators Gong, Wood, Springs, filtered and slowed for surreal electro-acoustic scapes

• Vintage Digital: Early digital effects and delays feedbacked into themselves, revealing raw character
