Kalimba – 也被称为 mbira 或拇指钢琴,这种乐器起源于非洲音乐,民族音乐学家 Hugh Tracey 在 20 世纪将这种乐器带到了国外。为了添加独特而现代的风格,我们采样了带指甲的 Hugh Tracey kalimba(以更传统的风格表演,将指甲用在金属舌头上),手指(使用指尖不包括指甲,获得稍微柔和的起音) ) 以及用橡胶演奏的 Kalimba 令人难以置信的声音。这会产生柔和、圆润的声音,与演奏乐器时产生的地球环完美配合。然后,所有这些样本被用于通过一系列外部设备创建迷你表演,以创建 Moods,由微循环、纹理和声音怪异组成,为用户创造独特的声音和音景增加了丰富的潜力。
Kalimba – also known as mbira or thumb piano, this instrument has its roots in African music with ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey bringing the instrument to countries abroad in the 20th Century. To add a unique and modern twist we sampled a Hugh Tracey kalimba with nail (performing in a more traditional style where the nail is used on the metal tongues), finger (where the finger tip is used excluding nail, a slightly softer attack is obtained) and the incredible sound of the Kalimba played with a rubber. This results in a soft, rounded sound that works wonderfully with the earthly ring create when performing the instrument. All these samples were then used to create mini performances through a chain of out-board gear to create Moods, consisting of microloops, textures and sonic oddities that add a wealth of potential for the user to create unique sounds and soundscapes.
