Have you always wanted to hear the sounds of microbial world ? Did that microspace fascinate you like me ? If your answers are yes, let me
introduce my Microbiology – Petri Audio Dish for Kontakt library to you. I love new, bizzare sounds and often dream – what some non audible
phenomenas sound (or would) sound like. Microworld seen under a microscope is surely one of them. Knowing, that hearing bacterias, or
enzymes is not so easy (if possible) I decided to use my imagination to create those sounds. I have always been huge fan of audio textures
and ambient soundscapes, so microbiology seemed to me like very proper territory to excite my fantasy. I closed my eyes and had heard that
curious world from under a microscope, the world whose gigantic constructions were… we ourselves. When I opened my eyes, sounds
dissapeared… until I gathered four of my hardware samplers and synths (each one with its own FX section) and started to look for the
sounds I had heard. I really enjoyed this work during March and April and also the work on design with basic effects including chorus, phaser,
flanger, delay and others adjustable in GUI. I have created 4 strangely named screens dedicated to different groups of effects (don´t worry,
they are “translated” in the help line of Kontakt when hovering your cursor above them). But most of all, you will discover 4 categories of
instruments – Bacterias (backgrounds), Amino Acids (longer tonal elements), Enzymes (short tonal elements) and Viruses (rhythmic elements)
ready to be combined into multis instantly reminiscent of bizzare soundscapes of microbial world. The world, which has got its own sound
now…
P.S. Names of the bacterias, acids, enzymes and viruses were taken from actual microbial terminology (some were “invented” by myself). No
sane sounds here 🙂 !
