Happy Halloween everyone! Here’s a fun little thing for your trick-or-treating, a small collection of spooky and strange sounds recorded during our sampling and sound effects work, now for free on our website. Be sure to check it out!
In other news, I recently aquired some nice new microphones thanks to purchases of our products and donations during the Xylophone three-day “gold rush”. I’ll be using these to record some great new instruments over the next few months. I’ll also be working with Camoshark again (the guy who was behind the recording of the Dan Tranh) to do some other really awesome ethnic and unusual instruments from his huge collection. Lastly, quite a few people have really enjoyed the very first instrument I put up for free almost half a year ago, a fretless zither. I have decided to start work on making a second higher-quality fretless zither using the new microphones and all the things I have learned from making these other instruments, so keep your eyes open for updates on that!
Here’s a little teaser of the next product we have coming:
Keep compos(ed/ing)!
