The Stethosphone is an "alternative" miking tool built using a couple of electret mic capsules mounted inside a cheap stethoscope. This instrument is very useful in order to experiment with surface recording from any object and it is good even as new way to record instruments such as guitars, drums and so on.

Recording a Reaktor session with the Stethosphone through a Sony PCM D50 recorder
God bless this mess.

The following examples are Stethosphone recordings processed in Ableton Live with resonators, reverbs and delays.

First two recordings captured from my Sony Vaio surface. Source materials are fans and hard disk noises. The recordings have been processed in Ableton Live.

Vocal recording at low pitch, throat singing alike. The material has been processed in Ableton Live.

Reaktor session recorded pointing the Stethosphone few millimeters over the laptop speaker and, then, processing it via Ableton Live.

Ottimo lavoro, Luca... il risultato è fantastico!

Thank you Francesco. Unfortunately is very difficult to capture a clean sound in this way, since Panasonic capsules are very sensitive. I'm planning some more experiments with contact/piezo transducers which should be not suffer same issues I got with those capsules. Cheers, Luca

What an incredible tool! Imagine this in a foley recording, you could make an ultra-dry layer on top of ambience, omg the possibilities are endless... Oh and very nice sound design btw ;)
