about

Bass sounds that carry tension, not just weight

Your suspense layer, sorted. Waves, scraping, instability and fluctuating tension give the double bass interest beyond a static low layer. With MONOLITH you don’t have to stack extra sounds around a standard bass part just to give it life.

interface

Take the character that’s already there and shape it to your track.

Choose from five performances, balance the Close and Far mics, then shape the envelope, space, tuning and level. Bring the movement closer when you want to more detail, or push it back until it becomes an ominous presence underneath the track.

story

Why we made it.

We went looking for the double bass’s less predictable side

At Hollywood Scoring in Los Angeles, we spent a day with session musician Jules Levy exploring the double bass beyond straightforward playing techniques, focusing on sounds that shifted, scraped and fluctuated as they sustained.

read the full story

Rather than smoothing fluctuations out, we used them as the character of the instrument.

Working with engineer Adam Michalak, we captured that movement through the session and shaped the recordings into five playable sounds. The result is low-end material with gravity already inside it, but enough internal movement to keep the bass alive without having to build interest from extra layers.
