Sleepy coffee grinder
Aug 15, 2022, 03:35 PM
Composition by Farhad Ahmed.
"In this composition I tried to synthesise all the sounds from the original recording. A few extra drum hits got added and the whirring of the coffee grinder got layered with a vocal sample.
"The sound itself inspired because there was so much texture to work with. Whirring sounds, clicking sounds and gravel type sounds.
"The idea of a coffee grinder inspired me because a lot of people love to take a picture of their coffee and post it on social media. I wanted to make a lo-fi hip hop tune that people post their coffee pictures too but also to encapsulate the lethargy around caffeinated drinks."
This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world’s biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening. Explore the whole project at https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds
