Abstract Acoustics Vol 1

Alright everyone, here to start a new blog on my next sample library.This library is going to be concerned with using acoustic instruments as the principal sound source.WHY? I,m searching for a way to create new sounds which can be used in any genre of music.
I,m becoming increasingly bored by using soft synths to create the basis of sounds.These tools are great but variety is essential in creating interesting sound and many of us are using a lot of the same tools available to us.
A lot of electronic music and music in general is becoming dull and totally homeogenised into a bland corporate compromise with no real attempts at individuality.This is strange at a time when musicians in all genres have never been more free in the tools and avenues to create and release music than ever before.
Abstract acoustics vol 1 is going to concentrate on acoustic guitar samples.Many of the samples will be finger picked acoustic guitar sequences in various turnings but the other side of this library will involve re sampling those sounds and creating completely new sounds,unrecognisable from the source. I like the texture of sound that you get with acoustic guitars and many happy accidents occur when playing and recording any type of acoustic instrument.The scrapes twangs and squeaks from acoustic playing can all be used as a basic sound for re sampling and playing using a sampler.
There will be 2volumes for the abstract acoustics series.The first will mainly be straight acoustic finger picked sequences,inspired by Bonobo four tet and BoC .The second volume will use flutes recorders harmonica violin and guitar twisted into new shapes and sound to create totally unique sounds.
I hope to release vol 1 soon but in the meantime will post some more on how I create some of the sounds and the gear I use to create this new series of sample packs.Bye for now peace papas
