Mallet

The audio titled "Mallet" begins with a steady, rhythmic hum that is reminiscent of a machine operating smoothly. This background noise is constant, providing a metallic soundtrack that underpins the whole piece. Suddenly, a distinct sound punctuates the hum - the unmistakable impact of a hammer against a hard surface. This occurs at regular intervals, creating a pattern akin to a heartbeat. The sound of the hammer, or mallet, is powerful and resonant, echoing slightly each time it strikes. As the audio progresses, the machine noise continues its unchanging rhythm, while the mallet's rhythm varies slightly, perhaps indicating different uses or purposes. The hammering becomes faster at times, then slows again, creating a dynamic and engaging soundscape that tells a story of industry and labor. Towards the end, the sound of the mallet gradually fades, leaving only the machine noise, which slowly winds down and becomes quieter until it, too, fades into silence, marking the end of the
