Evolving soundbath for sensitiv echo experience...

Arturia’s Drumbrute Impact is a quirky little drum machine that has been a strong seller since its inception in 2018. The little brother to the full-sized Drumbrute, the Impact slims down the form factor and number of available sounds while swapping the original’s filter for color and distortion effects. A good value for its low price point, the Drumbrute Impact has robust sequencing flexibility and a very hands-on workflow. Its synthetic sound, which leans towards the lo-fi side of the spectrum, puts it in its own lane away from other machines everyone knows and loves like the TR-808, 909, DMX and LinnDrum.

For the first time ever, I am making many of the sounds from the Drumbrute Impact available online for free to use in your own projects. Included here are AIFF files of each of the 10 sounds, plus the mentronome click, dialed in at numerous parameter combinations. For example, the kick includes 11 different decays with 11 different pitch permutations, leading to 121 samples. Or in the most extreme case, 1330 different permutations of the FM drum.

Oh yeah, I also recorded all the permutations of every instrument minus the FM drum in each of the distortion modes: with no color or distortion, with color and no distortion, with no color and distortion, and with color and distortion. Because there’s over a thousand different permutations of the FM drum, I was only able to do the no color/distortion version otherwise people would think I was clinically insane or something ;)

Sounds included in this pack:

KICK: 121 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
SNARE 1: 121 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
SNARE 2: 121 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
HI TOM: 11 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
LO TOM: 11 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
CYMBAL: 11 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
COWBELL: 1 sample ( x 4 modeling types)
CLOSED HAT: 11 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
OPEN HAT: 11 samples ( x 4 modeling types)
FM DRUM: 1330 samples (no distortion or color modeling)
METRONOME CLICK: 1 sample

I’ve labeled all the files as descriptively as possible, using the following as the naming convention:

“Drumbrute Impact-CL HAT-XX-Tone 01”

CL HAT = name of the sound
XX = denotes if color or distortion are applied; XX has neither, XD just
distortion, CX just color, CD has both
Tone 01 = refers to the specific parameter with 01 to 11 settings; many
sounds have multiple parameters

This ZIP file has the AIFF samples - all 3004 of them - in separate folders organized by sound and distortion type: https://zakimrecordingscom.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/arturia-drumbrute-impact-samples.zip

And this ZIP file has a packaged Ableton folder with all the AIFF samples, organized by instrument per channel in a Live set, with macro controls for each of them to make it easier to dial in sounds on a whim. You can save each sound in your user library for easy access in future projects. Requires Live 11 standard or suite version: https://zakimrecordingscom.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/arturia-drumbrute-impact-ableton.zip

The demo track above is made entirely with sounds from this sample pack and stock effects in Ableton. Also a free download if you want to use as a DJ tool or whatever.

While these sounds paint a good picture of what’s possible on the Drumbrute Impact, it’s still no replacement for the real thing! If you dig using these samples, I highly recommend picking one up and taking it out for a test drive. It’s a powerful, intuitive little machine.

Duval Timothy is a pianist, composer, and music producer who splits his time between London, UK, and Freetown, Sierra Leone. Besides music, his creative pursuits include painting, photography, sculpture, design, food, and textiles. His solo piano pieces lie at the intersection of contemporary minimalism and jazz. Timothy has collaborated with notable artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Solange, Vegyn, and the London Contemporary Orchestra.

Angel Bat Dawid is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator based in Chicago. A key figure in the city’s jazz scene and a significant voice against racial discrimination, she has worked with artists like Marshall Allen and Makaya McCraven. Drawing inspiration from the poetry of Margaret Burroughs, the music of Yusef Lateef, and even Mozart, her work spans genres including free jazz, gospel, avant-garde, and hip-hop.

Mabe Fratti is a cellist and composer from Guatemala, now residing in Mexico. Influenced by contemporary classical composer Gyorgy Ligeti and cellist Jacqueline du Pré, her diverse musical journey includes collaborations across progressive metal, krautrock, dream pop, and jazz. Fratti uses cello, voice, and synthesizers to create sound installations, compositions, and free improvisations.

Kalia Vandever is a Grammy Award-winning trombonist and composer based in Brooklyn. Recognised as one of the prominent new voices in jazz, her distinctive approach to the trombone is characterised by a sonorous tone and lyrical improvisational style. Vandever is also known for her work as a side-woman, performing with artists such as Joel Ross, Immanuel Wilkins, Lizzo, and Moses Sumney.

CS & Kreme is a musical duo consisting of Conrad Standish and Sam Karmel, based in Melbourne. Their music transcends style and space, blending heavy dub processing, sweeping post-punk, and chamber music soundscapes into what they describe as ​“horizontal music.” Both seasoned musicians, Standish and Karmel have a rich history of collaborations in successful experimental groups such as F ingers and Bum Creek.

Duval Timothy - Go Without

A few months ago @breakaleg-ec and I experimented with ambient sessions during our residency at Havre de Perche. What started as cute activity for the cold autumn evenings ended in a prime slot on the chillout stage curated by @clara-la-fievre at Château Perché Festival.
Here is the recording for you to reexplore some hygge feeling with some solar ambient, delicious trip hop and psychedelic rock.

Les forêts du Caucase

I had a lot of train journeys recently and I love watching the wires seemingly dance around outside the window. I wondered if we could be getting fooled by a similar process during our usual experience of movement and time, and thought it would be an interesting project for a music video set to the music created during the same journeys.

You can find that project and a longer explanation of the video ideas here: https://vimeo.com/241546182

For the music I wanted to bring ideas of frozen moments of the past into play, and no better excuse to get stuck in with the Prophet 6 on some lush classic analogue synth sounds for the main chord sequence, and plenty of nob noodling for a dance of modulating sounds around the main sequence. I wanted to keep it fairly sparse to let the chord patch be central, and just focus on trying to make every element, including the percussion, warp a little, so you can either listen to the track from a distance and hear the harmonic ideas, or delve in to find all sorts more hiding in there.
