• Architecture of Sound is a virtual instrument library focused on sound design and atmospheric textures.
• It features a variety of sound sources and is designed for cinematic and ambient music production.
• This product requires Kontakt, but the specific version is not mentioned.

Product Overview

Architecture of Sound features a collection of unique acoustic sculptures, each producing distinctive sounds ideal for horror scoring and innovative audio production. The library captures the essence of eight custom-built instruments, offering a range of organic and unconventional tones that stand out in any mix.

Details

The library includes deeply sampled sounds from sculptures created by Bulgarian sculptor Martian Tabakov. These sounds were recorded using various mallets, sticks, brushes, and bows, allowing for a wide array of textures and articulations. Each sound is treated as an articulation, making the library not just a collection of one-shot samples but a playable virtual instrument.

Utilising the full version of Native Instruments' Kontakt, the library features a user interface based on the X3M Percussion Engine, providing controls for further tweaking and customization. The keyboard range is divided into categories, enabling composers to build intricate soundscapes and effects tailored to their projects. This flexibility makes it suitable for both experimental compositions and traditional scoring contexts.
