Details

The instrument is sampled from bowls ranging from 20cm to 25cm in diameter, struck with a glass mallet featuring a rubber finish. Additionally, the mallet can be rubbed around the edges to create airy, singing notes. This results in a rich and complex tonal palette, ideal for creating serene soundscapes.

Recording was conducted using the bespoke Aligned Microphone Setup (AMS), which captures the bowls with multiple mic configurations, providing distinct character across different positions. This setup allows for precise detail and clarity, making it suitable for both immersive audio projects and nuanced scoring. The library also includes performance controls for articulation and tail length, enhancing playability and adaptability in various musical contexts.
