Absolutely :) Here's Kip Smedley's story behind it: " I physically built an Aeolian harp out of an old wooden wine box and some fishing wire. For fun, I build guitars out of cigar boxes. It’s a hobby of mine. So when we were talking about Aeolian harps, I said I’d just build one. So I did. I put some guitar pickups into it. I physically built an Aeolian harp out of an old wooden wine box and some fishing wire. But I couldn’t get the wind to vibrate the strings enough for me to record them - the breeze just wasn’t strong enough that day - so I ended up using a fan in my room, and then positioning and holding the Aeolian harp up against the fan. That’s one of the main layers we’re using in the transporter sound. The sound has a lot of layers to it. We have the sound of the engines powering up, the machine powering up before the transport happens, the fader rise (the tactile sound of the faders going up and the machine reacting to that), materialize and dematerialize sounds." - from www.asoundeffect.com/star-trek-strange-new-worlds-sound/
