Slapping them against each other creates a whip-like sound. So as not to endanger other musicians, two wooden boards called Slapsticks are used in the orchestra.
The sound of whips has been employed in classical music since the 19th century. Three ratchets of different sizes were recorded in two speeds. Since the late Middle Ages, Ratchets have been used in many central European regions between Holy Thursday and Easter eve to observe the death of Christ with lots of noise. We sampled the rattling sound of two Vibraslaps of different sizes. The quijada, predecessor of the modern Vibraslap, was made out of the lower jawbone of a donkey in which the loose teeth rattled, which is why the vibraslap is also called “Donkey Rattle” or “Donkey Call”. The articulations were recorded in three speeds with four variants each. Originally from northern Chile, it was used by indigenous peoples for rain ceremonies. The Rainmaker is a tube-shaped rattle that can emulate the sound of rain. All samples were recorded with and without rumble. The wind machine we recorded also has an additional “rumble lever” that adds more noise to the sound. We captured steady sounds, crescendos and decrescendos, as well as free performances. The faster one cranks, the stronger the wind sound. Most wind machines have a crank handle which is turned to pull a belt over a wooden cylinder. Wind machines were developed in the 19th century for the theater, opera and concerts to simulate the sounds of wind and storm. Two thundersheets of different sizes were recorded with the following articulations: beaten with sticks, brushes, hands, rubber mallets, gong mallets, an iron chain, shaken, bowed, and rubbed with a super ball. Thundersheets were developed out of the necessity to produce the sounds of thunder in the theater.
