  • UNTOPIA | sound-dust

    UNTOPIA £35 Welcome to UNTOPIA ​ 200 patches and 80 specially devised new sound sources for Omnisphere 2 for Spectrasonics OMNISPHERE 2 add to cart Untopia is born from a boisterous mix of influences. The darkly industrial but uplifting soundscapes created by Factory records producer Martin Hannett for Joy Division and A Certain Ratio are in there. So are the madly brilliant and brilliantly mad Christobal Tapia de Veer soundtracks for Utopia, National Treasure, the Girl with all the Gifts and Dirk Gently. All thrown around with a good measure of cosmic hippy wig out Terry Riley vibes, some Jon Hassell/Brian Eno Fourth World aesthetics and the grubby wonderment that makes Sound Dust, you know, Sound Dusty. Expect strange disjointed and alluring voices, grainy strings, finely sculpted noise scapes, organic grit and grime, slurring mellotrons, drunken string machines, bent synths, amped keys turned to 11, low ebbing throbs and a healthy selection of other beatific cathedral of sound oddities. "There comes a point on every production when you've done the basics and now you need something new, interesting, unique and inspiring. So I navigate to my Sound Dust library where time and time again I'm surprised and thrilled by what I find " - Gary Barlow - yes 'that' Gary Barlow ! ​ "I love it! Went straight into a soundtrack I'm working on" - Paul Hartnoll - Orbital ​ "This is just what Omnisphere has been waiting for" - Phil Hartnoll - Orbital ​ 1/2 mid Philosphy... Omnisphere is a lot like a sampler from the early days of sampling. She can happily loop around pre-written loop points, but for user samples* she can't do multi sampling. Instead of each note having its own sample to play back at several velocities, one sample is stretched over the whole keyboard. Higher notes are simply played back at faster rates, lower notes are slower. This means that looping samples move at different rates across the range of the instrument. This is terrible if you are looking for accurate renditions of real world instruments, but if you embrace it this can be a joyful playground of creative happenstance. Sound Dust is a big believer in creative happenstance. ​ * do not fear, this doesn't apply to the core omnisphere library (although it does for some of it) £35.00 for Untopia instant download.

  • Plastic Ghost Piano 2 | sound-dust

    £45 A wonderful sounding, one of a kind textural piano made by spurting bursts of controlled noise through unsuspecting piano samples ​ 9 deeply multi sampled piano articulations 1.1GB of 24bit multi samples with up to 23 velocity levels per note. 100 gorgeous snapshots Mod wheel controlled reverse engine for FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 and 6 add to cart Plastic Ghost Piano#2 is a warm, richly sampled, hybrid piano made by using convolution technology in an unlikely way. ​ There really is nothing else like her. Sounds range from warm, woody and expressive wonky piano to blissed out orchestral haze. Mod wheel expression opens up weird and gorgeous looping, glitching and reverse piano effects with real-time control. ​ Effortlessly morph 'proper' piano sounds into ecstatic otherworldliness - and then back again... and back again etc etc. ​ Boris the Liar K6 PLASTIC GHOST PIANO#2 PLASTIC GHOST PIANO#2_Drone Piano reverse PLASTIC GHOST PIANO#2 PLASTIC GHOST ICON Plastic Ghost Piano #2 Boris the Liar K6 PLASTIC GHOST PIANO#2 1/4 mid 'Each instrument that emerges from the Sound Dust curiosity shop adds extra layers of invention, and this revisit to the Plastic Ghost Piano is no exception. It's Pendle at his playful best, loading every button and wheel with the means to twist and turn piano sounds into something new. Chaos always hides round the corner, but the success is in somehow keeping things organic and beautiful, haunted and lovely." Mat Davidson - my favourite multi Emmy winning composer The sound components that make this possible.... ​ White Ghost is made from recordings of a broken upright piano convolved in the same way as the Plastic piano. There are 23 layers of velocity, but using the Time Machine engine in Kontakt these layers are stretched over the entire keyboard range (co to c7) which adds strange and unexpected artifacts . ​ Yellow Ghost works similarly to the White Ghost, but with a different set of broken piano samples and 2 sets of 10 velocity layers. ​White Piano is a 4 velocity multi sample of a Hohner Pianet T electric piano. Recorded dry, but with re-amping possibilities built into the interface. ​ The Plastic Piano is a multi sampled piano patch made on a Technics WSA1 modelling keyboard . Each individual sampled note was then loaded into a convolution reverb plug in and blasted with varying levels of controlled white noise, and the output recorded and remapped as a 6 velocity layer multi sample. ​ Rubber Piano is really a multi sampled palm muted Fender Stratocaster recorded through a valve combo. Its unlikely looping and hints of amp noise add a useful pluck and gritty texture. ​ Pink Ghost is a looped, stretched and treated version of the plastic piano layer. Like the other ghost layers, instead of vibrato there is a formant filter which can be BPM modulated for full banshee effect. ​ ​ Reversed, edited and looped multi sample of a Hohner Pianet T electric piano. ​ ​ Reversed, edited and looped plastic piano. ​ ​ Reversed, looped, stretched and treated version of the rubber piano layer.

  • Modular Chaos Engine#1-Found | sound-dust

    Modular Chaos Engine#1.1-Found £25 A found sound drum machine ​ 700+ binaural 'found' 24bit samples 200mb download for FULL version of Kontakt 5.5.1 or above. add to cart mid For the past 10 years or so I've always carried some kind of portable recording device and a pair of OKM in ear microphones around with me and kept a kind of aural diary of great sounding things and great sounding places. I've made literally gazillions of recordings in places all over this side of the world, and like most diaries these recordings have mainly been sitting in dark cupboards waiting for someone to rediscover them... The Modular Chaos Engine is the perfect repository for 785 of them. I've selected the most usefully percussive, clangy, bangy, thumpy, boomy, itchy, scratchy, thwacky and whacky, added a really powerful sequencing engine and made a "found sound" drum machine.

So you can use anything from a grunting pig, to a firework display, to me stamping on the stage at Glyndebourne Opera House as your "kick" drum and combine it with a "snare" made from a Ladyshave mixed with a walk through deep snow, and a high hat made from crackling onion skins or a wobbly horse fence.
