AudioThing has released a new audio plugin in collaboration with electro-acoustic composer Hainbach. The free Moon Echo is a lo-fi delay effect that uses the moon to create unique, crunchy echoes.
In our seventh collaboration with Berlin-based musician Hainbach we listen to the stars: Moon Echo is a free to download delay based on a communications technique that uses our closest cosmic neighbor, the moon, as a reflector for radio waves. This results in some rather crunchy and lively echoes, modulated by the movement of Earth and moon.
The moon’s surface is an imperfect mirror and creates artifacts, unlike any other echo technique. Moon Echo is both a musical lo-fi effect and a playful tool for teaching about space.
Moon Echo features
- Emulation of radio transmitter input and output stage.
- Emulation of automatic leveling circuitry.
- Emulation of moon bounce phase and frequency shift .
