Swell is a performable Kontakt instrument and sound effects library designed to create natural sounding cymbal swells with a variety of different cymbals and strengths.

pick it up at echocollectivefx.com/collections/swell

We brought in a professional drummer to perform each of the swells and on recording day we covered a wide variety of cymbal shapes and sizes.

Swell is divided into 2 parts: natural and designed.

The natural collection has recordings that are unmodified from their original performances and was created to produce clean, musical, natural sounding performances.

The designed collection uses samples based on the natural recordings that have been transformed into entirely new and different sounds using heavy processing and layering. It was created to produce interesting design and transition sounds quickly and easily.

In addition to the carefully recorded sounds we have created a truly useful and flexible kontakt instrument. This instrument ties the mod wheel to an entire matrix of effect parameters that you can manipulate in real time for instant complexity.

MARC LECLAIR - HORROR INC.

"Remaining silent for many years, not releasing much music, Brandt Brauer Frick inspired me a great deal to compose and record again after hearing them perform and meeting them at Mutek. These kids have so much talent, I'm really proud and grateful to know them. And I'm saying this in all humility."

Two years down the line they joined forces.

"It was a piece of cake for me to do this remix, cause BBF's music is very much inspiring to me. It speaks to me, and triggers images in my mind, so I see this exchange as a conversation between them and me, instead of just another remix for someone I will probably never meet, which is the case most of the time."

Year End Sonic-Mash

A field recording of a vintage John Deere tractor from the 1930s. The recording consists of the tractor starting up, idling and then powering down. Recorded from a few different perspectives and presented as one mix of these various recordings. 

The tractor was purchased by a friend's great-grandfather in the 1950's and has been part of the family ever since; it now belongs to her father.


John Deere Tractor ca. 1938
