Cinematic Metal Impacts
Parallelogram features recordings of metallic sculptures and objects. From colorful hits to soaring bowed pitches. _With immersive rich spectrums, strange reverberant properties and slow-moving harmonic motions A variety of techniques were used to trigger different sounds. Including striking the sculptures at different points with sticks and mallets, bowing them with rosined bows, and rubbing to create friction sounds.
The timbres emanating from these instruments include colorful hits and strikes, spooky bowed pitches, and subharmonic friction coos.
Subtle resonance and harmonic detail was captured using high-quality studio microphones and kontakt mics

Abstract and ambient patches
With contact mics we recorded sounds of a more ambient subharmonic nature. Thanks to a combination of → LOM GeoFon og AKG C411PP microphones, raucous sounds from the deepest cores were captured
We stumbled upon the idea for the KONTAKT library when we visited an art exhibition with works from a friend of ours. The objects in question were built from a variety of metal parts, including wires, springs, steel rails.
The artist had placed mallets on the sculpture, allowing visitors to create their own rhythms and melodies.
The mixer tracks has a channel strip where you may do additional tweaks. Channels can be routed to individual tracks in your DAW.
SOUNDS GO BANANAS
The Sculpt menu opens a menu with different pre-tweaked XY settings. Choose from a variety of complex randomized serial-connected evolving textures and sound design.
IN SETTINGS VIEW YOU CONTROL :
load/save universal settings

Tailor the size of the UI to suit your needs.
The interface is simple to look at, with advanced options available behind all controls
To enhance the instrument further, we curated a diverse collection of custom ambiences, drones, pads, effects, and unique metal sounds.
“WOW! These sounds have so much charisma and personality!”

“Sounds very cool, like a natural companion to Spitfire’s Mercury (which I absolutely love)
-Kem
“Sounds amazing! Were you inspired by the Myst games? Sounds very myst-ish.”

Research Into The Core of Metal
“There’s an undeniable cinematic and cosmic feel to the library.” It is a freely recorded collection of metallic resonations that have resulted in pads, leads, hits, cinematic metal impacts and a diverse collection of atmospheric elements. The objects were twisted, struck, stroked, bowed or scraped to produce sound.

Tom Waits once said ” … the hardware store has developed more pull for me than the music store. I always bring a couple of mallets and a violin bow with me – I get to hear things I’ve never seen before. All hardware items must be admired for their sonic properties….they’re all waiting to be played”.
