Zero G SoundSense Elektrolytic by Ian Boddy. Elektroytic is the second sample library by Ian Boddy in the Zero-G SoundSense series. The programmer of many best selling sample libraries including Ambient I & II, Malice in Wonderland, Morphology and Outer Limits Boddy is well known for his imaginative and unusual sound design skills.
Zero G SoundSense Elektrolytic - "The quality of the samples is superb and the drum and percussion loops are particularly impressive, with the rhythms and the sounds themselves sparking a whole load of creative ideas even on the first listen" - FUTURE MUSIC magazine (UK).
Best known for his love of all things analogue and his weird and wonderful atmospheres he has taken this sense of exploration and discovery into the realms of beats & loops. But these aren't "normal" rhythms rather they are beats that have been twisted and mangled using a huge arsenal of cutting edge digital techniques. They provide a unique source of inspiration for composers in virtually any genre who are looking for that loop with a special piquant flavour to spice up their rhythm track or perhaps to kick start ideas for a new composition.
Zero G SoundSense Elektrolytic has 250 "drum" loops at 100, 120 & 140 BPM categorised into 4 sections ( Drum, FX, Lo-Fi/Glitch & Percussion ) as well as 250 hits & one-shot samples categorised into 3 sections ( Ambient One Shots, FX Hits & Percussives ). Furthermore all the 250 loops are provided in Rex2 format for maximum programming flexibilty in your own compositions.
The Zero G SoundSense Elektrolytic sounds themselves have been treated and mangled with a huge array of effects and editing techniques. These include beat synced filtering, phasing & flanging as well as lo-fi treatments such as extreme distortion and bit crushing. Further exotic manglings are provided using things such as spectral analysis, granular resynthesis & textural morphing. The resultant loops and one-shots provide a unique library of sonic inspiration for beat driven music especially dance music.
"This is Ian Boddy's second contribution to Zero-G's SoundSense series and pretty much continues where the last one, Ambiosis, left off. This time, Ian's focused his talents on more percussive sounds and tempo-labelled beat loops. The man obviously has a lot of imagination, and if you're into IDM or electronica, you'll find yourself instantly thinking of ways to put the sounds to use. All 400 of the sounds on disc are distinct from one another and the quality is consistently high, meaning you can just scan through them and get those creative juices flowing.
