We specialize in vaporizing instruments into a spectral dust that is flash frozen into data for later playback. I am a sampler and I make the astronaut food of music production.. I do it well too..
What do you get when you feed two classic Korgs their own ghost and run them through a metaphysical blender set to hallucinate? You get the Korg Vol. 1—the inaugural release in The ScrewTape Series, a 42-patch collection of carefully sampled, uncarefully tamed sounds from the other side of the voltage divide. You'll find a chunky mono bass, syrupy leads, grainy chords, and unexpected textures wrapped in grime, velvet, and questionable decisions. And that's just what's above the surface.
This is more than a patch collection. It's an invitation to wander, to tweak, to uncover. A puzzle box made of sound, echoing with whispers from the before-times. The ScrewTape Series: Korg Vol. 1 — You don't play it. You explore it.
Patches built from actual, physical, hardware recordings of vintage keyboards like Siel Cruise, Solina, SK20, Polyphonic Ensemble and more..The electric angels and vibrating voices of yester-year.. but singing to us still in timeless hits of then and now. For all that modern software synthesis can do for us today, it can never do exactly what what was done with raw, physical electronics of it’s fathers.This is why these patches, these pure recordings of woven static are as unique and valuable to us today. Used as they are or through modern effects, you won’t find a better bed of frequencies to pull from.
