Created with Dolby On Using Teenage Engineering PO32 Tonic and PO35 Speak.  Samples lifted from Taxi Driver.

Yes Bob, I'm Talking To You!

This is a demo of the Breitler Switzerland Musicbox, created for pianobook by Anne Obel.

I produced this in demo in Logic Pro X: 
-3 tracks (the pad preset, and 2 of the music box presets)
-The accompaniment track is pitched down an octave, and I've added a echo plug-in.
-The melody is doubled; one of the tracks has low pass filter
-Raum reverb was applied to the melody

Breitler Switzerland Musicbox, from Pianobook

This track was inspired by the Pianobook project using it's free samples on Decent Sampler. I'm trying to take a pianobook sample as a starting point and just see where it leads me...

The main sound here came from Breitler Switzerland Music Box uploaded by Anne Obel. Such a clear sound and beautifully recorded. I included the clap and the winding noises as well. This is also the only sample I've found that downloads direct to Ableton. Thank you Anne! 

There's also a massive slosh of Electric Sparkles from the main man himself.

Breitler Beat - Pianobook

I wrote this prior to the ‘slow fire’ tour of ’95. performed it nightly. I began recording a fully arranged version for ‘dead bees..’ but it was lost in a computer crash. yuka found this demo on cassette. it’s certainly of its time. as far as i can tell, i’d just completed the writing and recorded this(very)rough take for reference.

Crow Hill Company
Composing Challenge - Vaults

Marko Gavrilovic - Empty Vaults

This track is made with Vaults of The Crow Hill Company.

Drowning in Doubt (CHC March Challenge)

For the Crow Hill Company composer challenge. 

This was made using exclusively the free “Vaults” instruments from Crow Hill. 

The brief didn’t specify to use only Vaults, just to include them all, however I decided to keep to Vaults alone as they fitted well. 

The Mode given / chosen from the competition page is E-Phrygian. 

To make some “different” sounding instruments I just used sound design via FX plugins from Logic X and Reason 11 and BlueCat. For example the “bell” sound is actually from the Vaults Celestatone. 

Hope you enjoy! :) 

I have other tracks recently opened up on SoundCloud which represent some of what I’m doing currently. Feel free to message to find out more. Also interested in work / projects if suitable :)

Leigh Randle - Call Of The Crow

This month's Composer Challenge from The Crow Hill Company was to write an "Enchanting" track using their free Celestatone Vaults instrument. This took me in directions I've never written in before, that's for sure. Ethereal pads, warm piano, flutes and reeds, harp glisses, distant percussion.. and of course the Celesta all feature. I think it's enchanting..?

Giles M - Arger Fen

Made using Only the free Crowhill Vaults instrument plugins, and nothing else except effects. For the CrowHill music competition of June ‘24. I used effects to try and sculpt unique sounds from the vaults and used lots of layering as well. The main challenges were getting the  multiple instances to not produce too much room / reverb sound on top of each other and things like that.  A lot of distortion effects and warps like flangers phasers echos delays etc were used. This was mixed with clean instances of the vaults as well for contrast. Also harsh eq profiles on further instances to try and find ways to put missing frequency content into the mix.
