can somebody tell me what kind of instrument makes this sound? like some sort of glass cylinder or something? i want to make it my trademark effect.

i try:
maybe it's the grey tube with wich you can make pass electrical cables inside?
i remember an interview with brian eno saying he used those to makes some sounds for his "on land" (1981 i think) album: he made rotation in the air with those to make air pass trough and producing a kind of sound like this; the more rapid you rotate the more you find high pitch.

ot
nww stands for nurse with wound? if it is, interesting band!

easy...its a SYNTH!

check out this website: http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/

Sounds like one of those spooky stick/tube things that kids have sometimes..

or could just be some sample bending or synth work

hmm... how do you make a sound like that with a synth? it sounds organic to me. yep that stands for nurse with wound.. great band! my favorite album by them (him) is 'sylvie and babs'. a rare occurrence that i like a band's later work better than the earlier stuff. the sample is from the 1992 album 'cold'. i again heard this sound on a documentary about haunted places around the world. i will further my search, thanks for the clues!

well..

the first bit sounds alot like wind chimes or a wind chimey synth sound with heavy phaser/flanger as well as some other weirdness, maybe filter modulation...

then there is a little flute-ish bit

then the last bit could be one of the first two sounds, but sampled and then slowed down and / or stretched alloooot

In fact it could be that the 3 parts are:

start - 'start' - however you make this bit
middle - 'start' bit pitched up with different effects/arrangement
last - 'start' bit pitched down and/or stretched alot, with diff effects/arrangement again (just single note)

wow, didn't think of that. thanks Cartesia, i'll mess with that.

i have made similar sounds by time streching little samples with the fruity loops time stretcher .

youd be surprised with what sounds you can get from a single synth module. Did you check out any of the demonstrations from matrixsynth.com? you can get that sound with flange and pitch modulation. easy

also fruity loops beep map can make similar sounds.

still sounds like a spring tube tho

you put it in your sampler.

You might be a little late to make it your signature sound
It is pretty cool though
