Think wood and then more wood and then some more wood on top of that.
The theme and purpose of this library is pretty simple. We wanted to
capture as much sharp, bright, tonal wooden impact percussion as our
hearts could desire. We captured several bamboo poles, bamboo logs
(literally), a whole pile of claves, woodblocks, clappers, box drum, and
other assorted wooden implements that epitomize the word "thwack."
These elements are ideal auxiliary percussion for orchestral composition
and epic ?lm/tv/game soundtrack scoring. They also are vital elements in
Latin music and hip hop, as well as very useful percussion
building-blocks and raw source material for experimental music and IDM.
We recorded all of these sets fairly up-close and dry, in a medium-sized
hardwood and masonry percussion studio (dry). All instrument
articulations were captured with 10 "round-robin" variations per velocity
layer, with an average of 5-8 velocity layers per note. We also included
6 unique sets of dark multi-layered ambient drones, created them entirely
from the original Clack source material. These multi-layered sound-scapes
utilize the modwheel to allow you to sculpt and morph these ambiences
very expressively.
