AFRICAN BALAFON WITH SNARES

RECORDING THE BALAFON: French musician Jean-Philippe Rykiel contacted us about a unique type of African balafon in which each key had “snares” that vibrated when played, giving it a interesting buzzing quality. Sometimes called a “gyil”(JEE-le), it’s usually found in parts of northern Ghana, Burkina Faso, and south-eastern Mali. Hardwood keys are suspended over calabash gourds. Silk or paper covers small holes in the gourds which resonates to produce the characteristic buzzing. Rykiel has long been involved with West African musicians, having collaborated with both the wonderful Salif Keita and Youssou N’Dour. For the balafon however, he knew of a virtuoso player from Burkina Faso named Mamadou Diabate now living in Austria. He enlisted Mamadou to play the instrument for a recording session that he would conduct himself. The recordings then made their way to us, and the result is the instrument you find here. We hope you’ll find this instrument both curious and inspirational!

Toolshed v2 KONTAKT

HORiZON | December 7, 2014 | 565 MB

MASSIVELY updated library from 2012. I had visited my toolshed already during recordings for the Cottage pack. I had sampled a few metal and iron tools, but had not dedicated as much time as I should. Whereas it deserved it, I decided to get back to stay a little longer and to record systematically and better all sounds, which acoustically characterized it. Already my grandfather packed it (with a different intention though) with – nowadays nicely rusty – various metal and iron tools and items, so I started with recording clinks, hits and impacts of wrenches, screwdrivers, clams, nails, screws, wires, rakes, tiny cans, spades and hoes. Then I proceeded to saw for a while, later turned a microphone to plastic and metal buckets. Recorded also banging against metal roof, small wooden wardrobe and floor and finally, picturesque squeakings of the door. I have hung items on wires, used their combinations to get some unusual sounds… then I took my time to play with the samples both in Kontakt and also outside of it to add more musical, tonal character to the library. The result is many drone and synth/pad patches, looped “soundscrapes” as well as a lot of multis consisting of the created patches (this is addictive). Whether you are scoring some dark fantasy or sci/horror PC game, or you just want to add some weird colours to your sound design, Toolshed offers you all you need to get lost in underground mines, abandoned factories, frozen spaceships and their dark corners…
