Reverie

Fall into ‘Reverie’, a lush and textural sample collection designed to augment any production with unprecedented sonic intricacy and dreamlike musicality. Spanning genres such as Ambient, Future Garage, Downtempo and more, ‘Reverie’ features everything from complex keys and crystalline synth atmospheres to sonorous Reese basses and granular percussion.

Weaving together foley recording, analogue instrumentation, and advanced synthesis, ‘Reverie’ offers an innovative sonic palette which seamlessly blends organic and digital timbres to create inspiring new sounds. Each melodic component in this collection has been engineered in fine detail to produce innovative and original tonality.

Recording began with a Vintage Baldwin Upright and a Rhodes MkII electric piano, recorded through an array of Audio-Technica 4040 microphones.

These recordings were then extensively altered with layers of digital signal processing, before being combined with a myriad of collected music boxes and foley textures. Finally, these composite keys are reinforced and augmented with detailed additive and wavetable synthesis. Interlocking delays, rich chamber reverbs, subtle tape distortions, and analogue compression lends an ethereal character to these compound instruments — intimate and complex.

Drum processing was achieved in a similar way, stacking layers of synthesized digital drums and processed foley recording to build crisp and granular percussion.

Alongside melodic and rhythmic loops, ‘Reverie’ also contains an extensive collection of selected one-shots for building loops of your own, including textural foley recorded in high quality. If you’re looking to build expansive and melancholic musical landscapes or lend a heightened sense of introspective character to your production, this is the pack for you.
