WHAT THE HELL IS AN IMAGINARY INSTRUMENT?
These are sample libraries for instruments that do not exist.
Sampling was originally about accurately capturing an instrument, but I don't think that's the only story sampling can tell.
What if we captured instruments so incorrectly that they started to sound like a different instrument entirely?
SO HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Think "prepared piano" taken to new heights.
I've dreamt about all sorts of fictional instruments and what they might sound like. Now, by playing normal instruments in strange and unintuitive ways, I can chase down these imaginary sounds and painstakingly create comprehensive sample sets with their brand new identity in mind.
Piece by piece, a pipe-dream becomes a fully playable instrument.
