dark bass clarinet recordings made into a unexpectedly hybrid, textural sample library

LOW + INTENSE

carefully curated textures, emphasizing the organic warmth, breathiness and deep resonance of the bass clarinet while allowing it to push beyond what it does in its traditional role.

we worked with chicago-based composer and clarinetist brandon c. stanley, who regularly uses this bass clarinet in his own compositional work and his recordings for award-winning composers.

ORGANIC BUT HYBRID

brandon plays with a natural instinct, shaping his own music while understanding how to bring other composers' ideas to life.

brandon’s instincts brings a rich sense of immersiveness and hybrid character to this library - perfect for evolving atmospheres and pads that respond naturally across the keyboard, designed for sci-fi, thriller and darker music genres. 

WHERE

brandon spent several weeks recording these sounds in his chicago studio, carefully playing, capturing, and refining each one.

true to his style, he used his go-to microphone setup and gear to perfectly capture the bass clarinet’s distinct character, using his studio space he knows inside and out.

WHY

we set out to create a bass clarinet library that draws you in with its delicate, immersive quality - preserving the bass clarinet's subtle, organic character while pushing its boundaries in unexpected ways.

we found that we were missing a bass clarinet library that explores less common and conventional textures and techniques. one where you almost go: "wow, this is a bass clarinet? cool!"
