Dark Summoning

Thawing into motion, ever rising to the breaking point

Spanner (Instrumental)

The ever pressure of time, not running out, just running. Momentum forces expression. Time is all that lets us speak. 

This is a song made with the Korg Module version of Soundiron Voice Of Rapture - The Soprano, using only the chromatic articulations and effects. The drums are from Soundiron's Knockout Drum. The bass line is Fab Filter Twin. No other sounds or instruments used.

Jean-Eric Bohdanowicz's official demo for Microrgan is a naked mix, using only sounds from this library.

Soundiron's Microrgan is a vintage 49-key analog synth from the 1950s. Rare and highly sought-after, little is known about the origins of this instrument, though the instrument's classic wooden exterior echoes the popular aesthetics of the 1970s and early 1980s, during which  me the instrument is thought to be produced.

Jean-Eric Bohdanowicz’s official demo is a naked mix using sounds from Glass Beach only.

Glass Beach is a unique sample library for composers and sound artists that combines experimental percussion and sound design with an oceanic sfx and ambient soundscape library. We explore a wide variety of different natural beach, bay, estuary, marsh and wharf environments in wide stereo with a richly-detailed quality that puts you right there in the scene.

Glass Beach itself is a unique place on shore of the old village of Fort Bragg, on the northern coast of California. For decades during the last century, the town dumped its trash in the sea, heaping it into heaps towering 30 feet above the waves. “The Dumps” were finally shut down in 1967. After years of clean-up efforts, all that remains are the tons of broken glass too small and plentiful to pick from the sand. However, the relentless years of tide and waves have turned this glass into something magical. These millions of glass beads tumbling in the gentle surf create a remarkable effervescent sound you won’t find any other place on earth.

Jean-Eric Bohdanowicz’s official demo is a naked mix using sounds from Holy Ambiences only.

Holy Ambiences is an ambient synth pad, evolving soundscape and sound-designed ambient sample library for composers and sound artists. It captures a wintery, icy mood with shimmering and sparkling textures, lush mystical backgrounds, warm musical patches and a mysterious vibe. We originally created it as the perfect little companion library for winter and holiday-themed music and sound design production, but it has grown over the years into an all-around cosmic synth and instrumental ambient patch collection that comes in handy in all kinds of musical genres. There are 18 sound categories, filled with long one-shot sounds and infinitely looping sustains. These hand-crafted sounds are rich in detail and full of unique flavor. Most are strongly tonal, while others are clustery or abstract. They’re all designed to sound great played at their root pitch or retuned anywhere across the entire key range.

Jean-Eric Bohdanowicz's demo uses only the sounds of Alpha Organ.

Alpha Organ is a beautifully deep-sampled church organ & sound-design library recorded at St. Paul's Church in San Francisco.

Jean-Eric Bohdanowicz's demo uses only the sounds that come with Oddball.

Oddball is a playful collection of pads, plucks, subs, stings, drones, & drums sampled from cheap digital keyboards and then manipulated to the intergalactic limit. Each patch was carefully designed to unlock new realms of inspired creativity. From nostalgic '90s synth emulations and cheesy percussion loops & hits to luscious ambiences and soundscapes. Oddball has got you ready for your next game or animation score.

I'm always looking to shrink the size and weight of my rig. I just love carrying the minimum amount of equipment!  I did this test to see how small I could go with microphone separation without sacrificing quality. All configurations were Clippy EM172 stereo pair to Sony PCM-A10.

My conclusion is that AB40cm rig with simple Rycote lav wind protection gives me a great sound with a very small and light footprint but not great wind protection. The quasi-binaural rig gives perhaps a more accurate stereo field with the advantage of excellent wind protection (it is housed in the equivalent of a blimp with proper windjammer). To get better wind protection for the AB40cm rig would require a massive and heavy (by my standards) blimp.

1. AB20cm - narrow, too narrow...
2. AB30cm - getting wider, pretty nice...
3. AB40cm - wider still but nice balance of width and centre-image?
4. AB60cm - very wide but hole in the middle?
5. Quasi-binaural (20cm spacing with foam cylinder baffles) - improved placement of sounds in the stereo field?

Would be very interested to hear what other folks think. Please comment if you care to.
