CURSED CLAVINETS

In creating this sample library, our aim was to venture deep into the realm of aggressive clavinet sounds, even to the extent of evoking a sense of turmoil. We pursued heightened energy and friction in our endeavour. Sounds arising from the inadvertent mishandling of an amp leading to piercing feedback, or the deliberate dismantling of a guitar pedal, or the violent tightening of a clavinet string. 

To make an instrument like Hohner Clavinet interesting and varied involves modifying the sounds to the point where it departs from its initial state. In casual conversations, this alteration often implies a form of degradation, such as when an electrical signal transforms into buzzing and hissing noises that infiltrate a sound entity . We aimed for timbral collisions, frictions, and evolving sound transformations.

The extent of bringing a clavinet sound to life through sampling, in this context, variety unpredictability and liveliness becomes a quality that we loved and went for. Resulting in an auditory potency brought about by an augmented twist of the Hohner Clavinets sound, and alteration of its timbres.

In Cursed Clavinets, subtlety takes a backseat, and purity is but a distant memory. Embrace the magnified embodiment of mischief and malevolence, where sound finds its most audacious and daring expression.
