THE INTERFACE ↴
ABOUT ↴
sad + breathy solo voice recordings, shaped into an emotional, delicate, textural sample library
PERSONAL + EMOTIONAL
a solo voice that can fill the room like a choir but in a subtly powerful way?
we spent two full days at a wonderful little studio called altamira sound in la, capturing a variety of kirsten's (our co-founder) personal, evolving, expressive solo voice textures which she often uses in her own work.
SAD + EXPRESSIVE
we captured sounds that stayed true to kirsten's artistic voice as a singer/composer, sounds that feel at home in cinematic soundscapes.
we took these recordings and made them into playable expressive textures that inspire when playing, as much as they did when we recorded them.
the result is a very personal and expressive instrument that adds a delicately powerful depth to music, and brings it to life in an organic way.
yay - in 2000+ composers'
toolkits...thank you!
BEHIND THE SCENES ↴
WHERE
we had a really great time recording at altamira sound in los angeles with the brilliant engineer james riotto.
james has worked with and recorded for many influential artists such as jamie xx, dirty projectors, the mountain goats, alex cameron, and many many more.
WHY
we wanted to share a curated collection of sounds, kirsten (our co-founder), has created and often uses in her own music.
kirsten's unique approach to using her voice and creating textures with it, as well as her voice recordings having graced many albums and productions, made us want to make these sounds available to more people to use in their productions.
we don't know any libraries that sounds like this, and wanted to make a personally curated instrument that is easy to use but adds a ton of human, expressive character in a personal but powerful way.
