Karen’s sewing machine = metal magic

This week we’ve got Karen’s sewing machine, which she uses to make PJs for the dog.

So, normally I make EVERY sound in the beat from the found sound. But this time… I had to throw the metal horns \m/ and use a proper drummer.

Thank you, Anders. ❤️❤️❤️

P.S. Anders is the metal drummer in GarageBand. He kicks ass.

Get all of those sounds and the beat, for free, wrapped up all nice in a GarageBand for iPhone project, by clicking the big button above. You can also check out my Skillshare class on iPhone sampling, in which I sampled a bunch of other things in my kitchen and turned them into playable instruments using just GarageBand on my phone.


Come on back every week for new downloads containing 2 components each: an original, unprocessed recording of some non-musical thing; and a GarageBand for iOS project containing the Sampler instrument(s) that I’ve made with that recording.
