ANCIENT STONE PERCUSSION

  • The bewitching, ancient sound of tuned stones
  • 3 articulations: Wooden mallets, rubber mallets and scraped stone
  • 1.7 GB KONTAKT library

A ONE-OF-A-KIND INSTRUMENT

The Skiddaw Stones are composed of 61 tuned and shaped rocks, made from rare hornfels stone from Cumbria, England. Two different sets of mallets were used to capture large sets of velocity hits, as well as the sound of a wooden mallet being scraped across the stone surface. The result is a haunting and resonant instrument that sounds truly ancient.

ABOUT SONICCOUTURE

Combining unprecedented levels of detail with organic performance programming, groundbreaking instruments like Pan Drums and Balinese Gamelan quickly established Soniccouture as one of the most original and innovative instrument developers. Today, with a wide catalogue of instruments already available, Soniccouture continue to explore the limits of what is possible with sampling.
