Recording telephone pole cables with a contact mic to re-create the iconic blaster sounds from Star Wars. You can also get this sound from lots of other sources like radio tower cables, bridges and a slinky. In this video I used a Oaka Instruments Tellus contact microphone, bluetack and the Zoom F8n Pro

I had fun creating the sounds for this episode and a lot of it is fairly accessible. However, if you don't have an audio recorder but would still like to join in with the sound design process, I've uploaded a Silk Shooter Free Sound Toolkit on my website. It includes some of the sounds recorded in the episode. Cheers!
