Hello all,
here's a very unusual and cool sample request!
http://www.freesound.org/blog/?p=16
let me know if you make anything.
- Bram
really interesting :idea:
fortunately i just get my vacation!!! (wahooo!!), so i have some spare time to dedicate
...count me in! (i'm already @ work)
done -> http://www.freesound.org/packsViewSingle.php?id=3744
it's from a long time that I thought to update my "cartoonist pack", so i uploaded something similar : a selection of the funniest sounds i've synthesized and bounced, edited and remixed for the occasion. (maybe also) useful for games, cartoons, comedy, video and tunes as well... hope kids will have some fun! 
How about a 27 short lines of spoken text and exclamations? Children can make up their own story with them or comment the sounds that other children produce. Maybe I give it a go...
(I can't make it sound Vlaams, but I guess the kids don't care.)
Herbert:
good idea!
the installation is from a Dutch organization, I'm sure they will love your accent. 
what about nonsense words that could work in any language?
or just syllables/utterance? ( ooh! hoh! bah! meh! brrrr! ... could be fun to do )
- Bram
Yeah, I was more thinking of a mix of sentences and exclamations.
- wat een rotgeluid (this sound stinks)
- gaaaaaaaf (cooool)
- kewl (cooool) :wink:
- boe!!! (booh)
- ik ruik poep! (I smell poo)
- vrooeeeem! ( vroooom)
- druk niet zo hard zeg! (dont' push so hard!)
etc.
Anyway, I will go and brain storm a little with a friend that has a real cool voice.
Here's another idea, simple and straightforward: let a good singer sing notes, create seperate notes and some poppy chords. With the chords the kids can make the progressions from their favourite songs....
watch out for words with different meaning in belgian and dutch accents/meanings.
poep > kaka of stront (dat tweede is nogal hard)
drukken > duwen
hence the nonsense-words or exclamations would be easier and less linked to an accent.

You're right, be careful with that.
I'll do a series of short clips from my Sea Organ recordings, soon.
Hi Mates.
We (rfhache n me) were reading the invitation to this very interesting event, and we are already working on “the pack”
a question:
are already uploaded sounds (ours, of course), allowed to BE part of the pack?
if they are allowed, beyond adding the tag “sonokids-omni”, how do we gather them in the new ““sonokids-omni” pack, along with the new ones?
Thanks a lot
Fanny
1-is it possible to upload some sounds related to the project, in order to get some feedback of others Freesounders about them? perhaps, we reach even more of 27, so later we make a final selection.
2-we are having a hard time (as always) about tagging and describing them, so any suggestion is really appreciate, thanks in advance !!
Fanny
Hey Fanny and Rfhache,
nice to see you guys on here together
there are no "rules" to this thing, it's not a competition, so you can do whatever you want.
reusing files is just fine!
we just want the end-result in the format that we asked for.
cheerio,
- bram
hey CyberiaLainKittyKat,
remember that the instrument needs to be fun for kids (think 5 to 12 yr olds!)
so, chromatic scales might not be "the thing". Also, the sounds do need to be shorter than 3 seconds, so no place for loops etc I think.
beats could be cool!
The most important part is that it needs to be fun!
- Bram
I just uploaded a sample pack called "Ocean giant breathing", sounds are tagged also with "sonokids-omni" and samples are named Giant breathing 1... 27.
There are 25 short clips of Zadar's Sea organ sounds and two short clips of the sea splashing near that amazing instrument.
I hope you or/and the kids will enjoy that.
Today is deadline. Is there time left, Bram?
I've got some material, but I still need to sort it out.
If it's closed, please let me know. If not, I upload this evening.
Herbert
