This Glass is Made Out of Aliens!

So a while ago we got the KarmaFX Synth Modular and I have spent some time making weird sounds and destroying library sounds with it. My favorite synth that I made is one that I named "Gloop" because it has this magical way of taking anything and turning it into a slimy gloopy sound. I slapped some glass debris in the sampler and this is what I got.

Original glass sound:
Glass Debris by Googe

Through the synth:
Bassy Slime Goop by Googe

After I bounced out that sound I pulled it into Sound Forge and did some random crazy EQing:
EQed Slime Goop by Googe

Then I ran it through Sony elastique Timestretch and got what made me think of aliens chatting:

Recording Notes: The glass debris sounds were recorded with an Edirol R-44 and a Sennheiser ME67.

Laptop Fan

So I was sitting in the office, minding my own business. Our recording engineer, Mark, was sitting on the couch behind me working on his laptop. I was reading an article about the climate scientists and the multitude of death threats they receive when from behind me I hear a horrific grinding noise. I turn around saying "What was that!?"

Mark casually replied "It was my laptop fan."

To which my natural response was to grab the recording gear and get a take, after finishing my article of course. This is what I got:
