This pack of 40 samples was derived exclusively from a 10-gallon metal milk container. A four foot aluminium rod was used to bow the container at various positions, coaxing haunting moans and unique rasping timbres out of its empty shell. Most of these samples have a strong fundamental tone, consistent across the set, which can be tuned to your piece—then you can massage your pitch-bend wheel into delightful melodic expressions as the timbre evolves. With a creative approach, one could mine these for amazing deep pads which defy the average synthetic texture.

Within the context of an enveloping reverb, this is iron approaching the alchemical state of gold. They are powerful, unique, melancholic recordings with many potential applications. And then, of course, you can reverse them, truncate them, and isolate marvelous little inflections in your sampler for unique loop-points. There's hardly an end to the ways these can be artistically channeled.

The demo track for this set uses ONLY 4 of the 40 samples!

The mp3-link don't work in Google Chrome web browser. Not for me at least...

There's an alternate page in the menu if Flash isn't working for you.

Here's the page with direct links:

Oddly, the whole site works fine for me in Chrome. I hope it's not a general Flash issue with Chrome. I really enjoy it as a browser.
