One of our friends, toiletrolltube, had a birthday recently.

He is an amazing contributor to the Freesound database, not just in number but in quality of his sounds. - a real genius when it comes to sound design.
And very generous with the licensing of his sounds.
He is also quite a character.

Take one of his sounds (or more) and use it/them to create a piece. You can use whatever other elements you like, but make toiletroll's sound(s) the central element(s) of your piece.

If your work is a collage, remix, etc you can upload it here at Freesound.
If it is a musical piece, please upload to a suitable place (Soundcloud, Bandcamp, etc).
In any case, post here with your happy birthday wishes and a link to your piece.

I want to believe.

Congrats toiletrolltube!
To celebrate you I used sounds from last year that has not been that popular. But I usually like sounds many “dislike” (or just haven’t found yet). One of the sounds matches your freesound user id… a little…
Selected sounds.

Used Audacity for the creation. The sound:

A belated happy birthday to you!
A good opportunity to say thank you for the wonderful sounds you share, the inspiration and the LoLs.

It was easy to be inspired by your weird and wonderful sounds to put this musical collage together.

I have to say that many of your sounds have some of the craziest wave shapes I've ever seen

To Alien, this is a good idea. How about other members birthday dares? I would like to take part in a dare like this. If anyone is willing to announce, yourself included.

Hi TRT
Probably one of the best dares ever. - Because it is a lot more than just throwing some sonic nonsense together and calling it a music piece.
I guess there is a feeling of "Hey, I want to do this!" - not because someone told me to, or because I am curious about what the result will be, but because I really want to do it.

I will participate too, of course. But have not managed more than a few minutes of computer time each day (for non-work purposes) for weeks. So really limited to answering emails...
As soon as I get an opportunity in the next few days I am putting something nice together.

As for others who may find this a suitable celebration of their birthday - ping me a IM. I am more likely to see that than a post in the forums...

I guess my 5 minutes of computer time are gone!...
Bye for now!

I want to believe.

Call of Duty? - isn't that a game? LOL

Nah... there really isn't a lot of effort involved in running the dares. Especially since we stopped doing a vote afterwards... and that was ages ago!

I really want to do this. So, of course I will participate. Just hope my creation will be worthy of the purpose.

Maybe this is even the start of a new era for the dares, where we celebrate the core-group of Freesounders...
Who knows. Lets just go with the flow. Lets see if the next birthday boy or girl comes forward.

I want to believe.
