‘Re: Sound Bottle’ Will Record the Soundtrack of Your Life

Sound Bottle

Before anything else, no, this girl isn’t blowing this bottle dry nor is she talking to it. Rather, she’s actually sort of talking into it, but not in a crazy or weird way at all because it’s actually supposed to be a recorder. And by ‘it’, we mean the ‘Re: Sound Bottle’.

It’s a concept by Jun Fujiwara from Tama Art University and it’s pretty awesome. It’s meant to capture the ‘music’ in our every day lives in a very interesting way. To begin recording, just uncork the bottle and it’ll pick up any sounds, if there are any. These sounds are stored in the bottle’s memory and an audio database is eventually created as more sounds are added. Tracks are then selected to create rhythmic numbers made up of all the individual sounds you’ve saved so far.

When you’re ready to hear the soundtrack of your life, just uncork the bottle, listen, and revel in the memories.

Kaleidoloop Sound Collector: for Wannabe Foley Artists

In case you haven’t noticed, everything is a remix. Good artists and inventors stock up on influences and material from other sources. If you’re a musician or if you want to make your own sound effects or if you just want something to listen to when you’re wasted, you can compile sounds wherever you go with the Kaleidoloop.

The Kaleidoloop was invented by Critter & Guitari, maker of the popular Pocket Piano synthesizer. The Kaleidoloop lets you record sounds and then manipulate those sounds on the fly. The sounds are recorded as .wav files on an SD card (the Kaleidoloop comes with a 256MB SD card). It also has a 3W speaker so you can listen and tweak the sounds you recorded on the go.

Here’s a trippy explanation of the Kaleidoloop:

You can order the Kaleidoloop directly from Critter & Guitari for $299 (USD). I wish they’d come up with a cheaper version; I’ll only use it to record my friends’ favorite expressions and a laugh track so we can pretend we’re in a sitcom.
