Double bass × garden twine ÷ √ (sub bass + reverb) = CLOUD BASS
Like the other members of the CLOUD family (see CLOUD VIOLA and CLOUD CELLO) CLOUD BASS is made by ditching the conventional bow in favour of a ridiculous system of springs and pulleys that drag coarse industrial grade garden twine over the strings of the double bass to create a long, slowly distressed new bowing articulation.
Recorded with different microphone techniques and mixed with more conventional double bass articulations and a selection of multi sampled analogue sub bass waveforms CLOUD BASS is a very different beast to the usual orchestral or jazz double bass sample libraries.
Expect new sounds from a humble double bass - low raspy rumbling, cinematic thuds and booms, delicate whispy swarms and some of the more usual sounds. CLOUD BASS can easily do a half decent {See video at top of page}
Eight deeply sampled articulations through eight 'oscillators':
74 specially created convolution reverb impulses recorded from real spaces, expensive hardware and some less obvious sources including spring reverbs, tape delay, reversed impulses, software models, radio, vinyl and the stage of Glyndebourne Opera House.
