I voted for the Brass and Wind Bank too - but still, the Crucible ceramics are intriguing - perhaps as part of Chromozone? In the meanwhile, best wishes as artist in residence - should you take the show further on the road - I hope someday you visit California!

producing composed hamburgers will make McDonalds and mello jealous ... congratulations, Señor!

i must admit, i hate to go to patchpool and listen to the elaborated demos ... and here again ... beautiful and tasty sweets and saweets ... again i have to decide: well brass then, because of the wind in my overblown phrases.

cheers

Here is a first demo for the Dark Brass Bank making use of 48 multisampled French Horn samples recorded some months ago in the church I wrote about, edited and truncated this morning - 2 velocities, 2x Round Robin, sampled over nearly 3 octaves, every minor third, sometimes in 2 semitone steps. With the sample start control you can move the samples in so the swell gets shorter, or starts right at the maximum dynamic point of the swell. I skipped the weird Snaps in this demo as I wanted to make a pure sounding brass demo first.
I will not record the next sample session in that church again, I've come to the conclusion that sampling dry in a proper studio will leave the user with many more options the sculpt the sound. It's nice to have those church horns included in this Bank anyway.

These horns are gorgeous.
