Drift Prequel
The origins of SOUND DUST - pulled apart and rebuilt into a modular drift playground.
Dulcitone, Harpsichord, Autoharp, Plucked Grand Piano, recorder and others wander, drift and bump into each other like old tape recordings.

Instruments shouldn’t always behave themselves
Unlike conventional Kontakt libraries, Drift Prequel is an experimental Kontakt instrument built for composers, producers and sound designers looking for something beyond traditional sample libraries. Drift Prequel focuses on exploration and inspiration - blending acoustic instruments, synths and unpredictable modulation and effects into a single creative tool for hybrid traditional textures, ambient music, film scoring and experimental composition.
Drift Prequel is an electro-acoustic ideas machine and a new home for some early Sound Dust instruments that are now heading into retirement*. Before they disappear, they have been lovingly smashed to pieces, combined with new sounds and textures, and gently re-knitted into the DRIFT ecosystem.
a few TINY snapshot experiments -
Some are delicate, some are broken, some are just wrong...
DULCITONE 1884
This is where it all began
An electric piano without the electricity
This was the worlds first multi-sampled rare and beautiful 150 (ish) year old DULCITONE.
DULCITONE 1900
The lovely younger sister to Dulcitone1884, with a slightly jinglier and more even tone which really compliments the butch woody clunk of the 1884 version.

GOOD WURLITZER
There has to be a proper version I suppose.
7 pristine velocity layers recorded straight into nice preamps with 'interesting' loops.
