PRESS RELEASE
New .Wav Sample CD from SoundEngine Released
March 15, 2001
Advertisement SoUnDEnGiNe.com announced the availability of it's fifth WAV file CD-ROM, Joel Putman's "Subliminal Message" As Joel explains, "This disk was somewhat inspired by music from Skinny Puppy, NIN, Meat Beat Manifesto and the movie Seven. I really wanted samples that had a harsh industrial quality, definitely not soothing or quiet. So using found sounds recorded form places like the mall and various retail stores as well as old TVs and 5 dollar radios, I began to cut, twist, stretch and sculpt the samples into something more aggressive, at times the samples border on noise. I made considerable use of sample granulation to produce textures and noises that have a certain rough and jarring quality. Granulation was used for many of the rhythmic samples as well–note that most of the rhythmic samples can be synced to a multiple of 20 bpm–FM and AM synthesis methods were used extensively to give many of the sounds hard metallic overtones. Some the samples were generated using additive–additive resynthesis methods and all of the samples were processed heavily using fairly standard processes such as reverb, phasing, flanging, and delays. In the end it makes for a collection of odd industrialesque samples." "Once again, Joel performs magical incantations over his Kyma System, and delivers a collection of amazing digital effects," said Scott C. Peer, President of SoUnDEnGiNe.com. "This diverse collection of sound effects could turn any song into a disturbing, engaging mix." "Subliminal Message" is available now at SoUnDEnGiNe.com and has an MSRP of $79.95.
