#13 LOOP QUANTUM SANITY [sample pack]

A plethora of pitch-forward loop paintings, grid-informed fantasy, melody paragraphs, & other tempo-centric cyber-tonal devices from the bowls of seemingly conflicting orbs.

Seamless loops, rhythmic patterns, otherworldly patches, combinations of patches, morphing in & out of each other. Sounds like glitter, fabric, silly string, slime, glass, wine, sass, new age shine, melodramatic spice, & unlikely associations.

Harmonious grid-locked phrases & layers for literally any genre, but produced from an experimentalist-with-too-much-software point of view. Melodic motifs that crave partner beats alongside melodic beats that crave, well, a partner. Because most people who download sample packs are newly single. But that’s why this pack is called Loop Quantum Sanity! It might be a big scary pill to swallow, but it’s the truth that these shiny new building blocks could be what you need to feel normal again.

Among these chunks of data you’ll find that nostalgia can become unstable, & the broken & fragmented can be welded together in the fires of the afterlife. Seriously. Psychedelic & luxurious colors & spices, structured & detailed, chaotic & serene. Sometimes the flute is in the stairwell, & its countermelody is a 70s analog synth run through a microcassette recorder. Sometimes you’re dreaming of square waves, but wake up & realize you’re actually headed for God’s cosmic trash compactor. And, maybe there’s a little marimba figure in there for good measure. And, maybe, that marimba sounds like someone dropped it down the stairs & doubled it with pitched dinner plates.

There are just as many warm tonal gestures & absentmindedly slow LFOs as there are rapid-fire arps spitting pebbles at church bells in a seemingly random way, but in the exact same random way, each time it repeats.

And the best part is that all filenames include tempos, keys, chords, modes, scales, or whatever it is that you might need to help you keep track of wtf you’re doing.
