Flanging


pr-nounced ‘flan-jing’, the act of mixing two audio signals together, with one being delayed by a small and slowly changing period producing an output signal with peaks and troughs in a harmonic series. fl-ng-rs are similar to phasers (phase-shifting, beyond the scope of this definition) however, if you listen intently enough, you can hear the difference.

the fl-ng- effect can best be described (to those who never studied wave mechanics) as a jet sound; sounds like a jet aircraft p-ssing by the listener. phasing on the other hand sounds much more alien and “other-worldly”.

while used in all sorts of different music, fl-ng-rs are most heavily used in psychedelic and dreamy music where strong harmonics and a “wall-of-sound” depth are often sought – used with good reason too, flanging sounds insanely beautiful when you’re as high as a kite. 😉
i was listening to slowdive’s machine gun shortly after returning from another galaxy. coming down, the flanging was simply too beautiful for my human ears, so i cried and re-ssessed existence.
