strawMan has announced the release of Limited by Nature, a free sample pack featuring 100 found percussion, 3 extended ambiances and assorted rhythmic passages, held notes and motifs.
Recorded with two stereo pairs under a leaky bridge, we have violin, singing bowl and harmonica.
The idea was to generate textures and timbres from the sources, while intentionally recording “dirty”- capturing the “room” sound and the outside ambiance.
This lends the set a distinct sense of place, and an often murky grain/ texture. Processed digitally, many of these samples are intended for further manipulation/ as sources themselves.They would be suited for wide range experimental works, electronica artists looking for leftfield textures to add to their palette, or multimedia sound design.
Originally created for personal use, I hope to give something back to the community of artists, developers and sound designers that with their own freeware releases, have helped my passion for this grow.
Demo:
The sample pack is weighing 320 MB, all samples being in 24 Bit WAV format.
