TAL Sampler: Ghosts

Ghosts

Ghosts is a continuation of a fascination with imperfection; the bruises and battle-scars, the ghosts and dust. I set out to create a set of playable, imagined instruments which (hopefully) sound as if they really could, or do, exist.
Video and audio demos above, ALL sounds in the demo are from the pack, unedited, no other FX.

The sources are very diverse but include some samples from my tired old Austrian upright piano, focused very closely in to capture some out of tune notes, string scrapes and plucks and noises from the wooden case of the piano itself. Other field recordings are also used along with some hardware synths and software sources processed through an array of fx chains, cassette, dictaphone, reel to reel and of course, my hardware samplers.

52 patches - mainly pads, slowly evolving and full of texture, grit, hiss, life and history.
Also Keys, FX & Drones and one solitary bass patch.
Velocity and Modwheel mapped to give as much playability and expression as possible. All samples are mastered and presented as 24bit/48KHz WAVs for use outside of the pack if desired.

Ideal for dark ambient, liminal and soundtrack work.
