Hello folks!

I’m looking for the most bizarre, experimental & unconventional sample packs/libraries (Please no Kontakt libraries but actual WAV’s for further manipulations in my software and tools).

Think about Richard Devine, Kyma, spectral resynthesis morphing stuff and other weird & wild sound design oriented sounds. Anything can is actually uncategorizable.

Post what you think that might fit the bill!

Thanks

You might like my Dark Territory pack. Its designed as a Live Instrument, but all the samples are included as 24 bit WAV files.

Check out Glitchmachines samples too.

I got an excellent Twisted Tools sample pack with Computer Music full of those kinds of sounds. Might be worth picking up the appropriate back issue as they're pretty nice for a fiver.

Glitchmachines make some solid packs too. More suited to reprocessing than using 'straight' though, as the packs I have are quite severely top and tailed with natural decays etc cut off.

Glitchedtones also make some cool sounding packs, but I'm yet to pick any up. They have packs involving feedback loops, databending (i.e. hex editing wav files), and electromagnetic/RF interference.

On the RF interference tip, if you've a soldering iron handy it's fairly easy to make an 'electromagnetic microphone' that will pick up interference tones from various electronic devices. Those sounds make great starting points for the granulator/FFT mulcher.

Thanks for the replies so far guys!

Indeed, Glitchmachines samples are wild. Very wild! Checked some and can't get more experimental than these.

About Twisted Tools, in fact after your recommendation cron I've checked their sample packs and they do have some crazy stuff, I especially liked the Darkmorph one, full of twisted textures and highly processed strange noises. Great wild stuff for further manipulations

It's definitely worth checking out the Glitchedtones packs too - I think you'd find them the most interesting of the three I suggested. They make the most out-there, 'unmusical' packs I know of. The data destruction packs are just full scale speaker shredding blasts of coloured noise, while the interference packs have everything interesting happening above 2 kHz, to give just two examples. There's a real purity and rawness to the packs they make. The actual sounds of interference and corruption, not just aesthetic/interpretative approximations thereof.

Oh, there's also been a few CM coverdiscs with above-average-weirdness samples on them; most of them can be got via Music Radar now.

I've enjoyed what's available here for subscribers ($10 Canadian for a month); includes unique Reaktor ensembles, Live stuff and M4L creations, as well as .wavs:

Not very active lately, but the back catalog is choice!
