This Soundcloud account is the page that hosts all 365 sounds from my project 365 Days Of Sound that I did in 2011. Here you will find 30 second recordings which can be listened to, downloaded and used in any way you see fit. Each sound has its own description so make sure you read it while you're listening. They are all under a part Creative Commons licence meaning they can be used by anyone but not for commercial use. If you would like to use these sounds for commercial purposes please email me at:365daysofsound@gmx.com
and I'm sure we can come to a simple agreement.
This project turned from a little idea to something huge. As of today my sounds have been listened to 68233 times, my sounds have been featured on several blogs (including 3 times on Soundcloud's own blog) and I was made Soundclouder of the Day by Soundcloud themselves.
This project means a lot to me so if you would like to leave any feedback of any kind it would really be appreciated. You can also donate to the project by clicking this Paypal link http://bit.ly/365DOSDonate. All money received will be put back into the investments I made during the project or any new projects I am doing. You can have a look at some of the other projects I am involved in by clicking the links below.

Thank you to everyone for their support. This project would not have been the same (and very likely wouldn't have been finished) if it wasn't for all the kind words and publicity I received for my efforts.

December 31st - Happy New Year (timestretched by 70%)
This recording is of me and my flatmates shouting happy new year and then timestretched by 70%.
It’s been a good year for recording and the project has gone mighty well I think. Thanks for all your support (all 7000 of you) I can imagine this project would have died a long time ago if it wasn’t for the massive amount of praise and kind words from everyone. Sorry for the delay in posting this up but I’m sure you all know what New Year is like.
I’m going to be releasing a DVD for sale of all 365 Days of Sound recordings along with all the unedited audio and so forth. I’ll update the blogs when I figure out what I’m doing and what it contains.
I’m also planning on an exhibition sometime in 2012 so look out for news on this in the future.
Thanks again for everything!

2011.12.31 - Happy New Year (timestretched by 70%) by 365DaysOfSound
Need to upload my final sound of the year. I seemed to have lost my recorder though. Hopefully I’ve just left it at a party at new year.
Final day of 365 Days of Sound. I’ll upload my final sound either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for all the support!
December 30th - A Korg Monotron feeding back on itself
This recording is of my Korg Monotron feeding back on itself. Since the Monotron has an input and an output I thought it’d be interesting to see what kind of feedback sounds (effected through the built-in filter) it came out with. Some definite interesting stuff. This was recorded using a Zoom H-1 digital recorder.

December 29th - Metal tin falling down some concrete steps (timestretched 80%)
This recording is of a metal wasabi peas tin falling down the stairs in my apartment close then timestretched by 80%. My girlfriend requested this from me ages ago and only got around to doing it now. It’s a great sound. This was recorded using a Zoom H-1 digital recorder and effected in Audacity.

December 28th - Atari Punk Console 2.5
This recording is of the next step of my Atari Punk Console I’m building. I finally managed to figure out how to use a 556 timer instead of 2 555s and I think the sounds are a lot more fuller than before. My plan is to convert it from breadboard to stripboard and house it a new case. This was recorded using a Zoom H-1 digital recorder.
December 27th - Cassette player sounds
This recording is of me putting a cassette tape into a tape player, taking it out, rewinding, playing etc. I got the idea a while ago from a Baconhead preview release of a tape. After every snippet of track there was these cool sounds of someone taking a tape out. I thought it would be nice if these kind of sounds were available to use freely. This was recorded using a Zoom H-1 digital recorder.
Coming to a close
5 sounds to go until the end. Anyone up for writing an article about the finished project in their blog, magazine or any other media?
December 26th - Playing a speaker with a battery
This recording is of a prepared speaker I made using an old TV speaker, an empty tin of dog food and a battery. I got the idea from a book called Handmade Electronic Music (I’d recommend it to anyone). I’ve included a picture to give you a better idea as I don’t think I’d be able to explain it that well. Basically I put a tin over the speaker cone and put lentils on top of them. I then attached a battery to the speaker and completed the circuit using 2 ring pulls to make a strange scratching sound. This was recorded using a Zoom H-1 digital recorder.
