I found some unusual instruments, field recordings and incredible spaces to record. This first instrument I am sharing is recorded in a huge public sports hall nestled in the Basque mountains in Spain. This was one of the largest reflective acoustic spaces I have ever experienced, so I experimented exciting the space with different sources. We played different instruments into the space, using a recorder at a distance to pick up the lush natural reverb. The resultant instrument is made up of a layer of guitar harmonics, sustained flute, and flute trills. The birds that lived in the roof are in all the recordings but I quite like it. There are no effects added here, only the sound of this amazing space. There will be another instrument soon made with some other sounds from this space using less conventional instruments. I have so many recordings from this space that this is just a tiny sample. Check out the vid to see where it came from, or just skip to the test if you want to hear it! I’ve got loads of instruments made from my trip so feel free to follow along 😊

This nature themed score was made to test some home made sample instruments made in the Spanish mountains. The Main pad at the start, and the melody line are both played with novel sample instruments developed just for this scene.

This video shows the process of designer a custom sample instrument for a horror context, comprising of different layer which each twist the sound of a singing bowl in a different way using analogue equipment.

Every instrument used in this Horror re-score was a custom made sample instrument made by myself. Instruments include the main 'Horror Tape instrument' (see method video), a spooky out of tune grand piano recorded from a French Chateau, and a vintage Childs piano recorded in a French market (both recorded with the owners permission).
