A Reverb Made From Ants In A Swedish Forest

If you don't already know, Impulse Responses are used in an audio processing method of feeding one sound into another via a process called convolution. The applications for convolution are far wider than just sampling reverberant spaces - they are also used in emulating guitar amps and cabinets (see the Kemper profiling amp) and more. 

YouTube channel  Something Physical recently posted the results of a trip to the forest in Sweden where they recorded various textures and converted them to Impulse Responses (IR).

The video is chill, with a distinct 80s camcorder vibe with an ASMRish and ambient soundtrack. It documents the process of recording a few every day (and not so common) sounds of cabin life into a Zoom H5 (which supports 32bit float recording) then using Logic's Space Designer IR reverb to process various sources and applying them to musical input.

The chimes vs ants is a lovely texture, and as for the Viking jaw harp...

Something Physical say in their Channel blurb: 

Trying to make something physical every once in a while. It keeps me from scrolling on my phone.

Amen to that.

Have you done anything unusual with IR convolution and processing?
