Experimental / IDM Roulette

Cycles & Spots deliver 327 Wav loops inspired by the Musique Concrète genre from the early 20th Century for Ambient / Experimental productions. Much like the original style these loops are made from real life recordings and then were transformed into new contexts, sometimes rhythmical and other times on the texture side. Tape mimicking techniques were used and also modernized effects like buffer manipulation were added to keep the spirit of the genre but resulting in still fresh sounding material to create temporary Ambient music with a certain edge. Most loops come with many variations. Use single loops to get inspired or combine multiple ones and build soundscapes and more with this collection.

Cycles & Spots created a a new version of their first Reaktor instrument Lifeform with 400 samples implemented, a perfect tool for Ambient productions and soundscape building. It's very easy and quick to get beautiful or harmonic or disharmonic textures, even using only one sample. These can be very dynamic in terms of changes in the actual sound over long time periods (You can cross-modulate all LFOs with each other). Though it is also possible to dive deep into this instrument and control every little detail. The Lifeform concept is to have 2 granular samplers playing and mixing these together plus lots of modulation. In fact this version has a modulation matrix featuring 8 LFOs (sine to random) and 8 destinations for the granular samplers. Both samplers feature the standard grain funktions and can be frequency shifted and equalized. Effect-wise there are grain delays for the left and right channel and a superb lush reverb.

Reaktor Full Version 6.5.0 (or later) needed

Cycles & Spots are back with another instrument for Native Instruments Reaktor, a poly synth especially handy for Ambient / experimental music productions, useable in other genres as well though. The main idea behind this synth is modulating the sounds over time, hence the name Motion. This is achieved by influencing the waveforms of oscillator one and two by LFOs. These have various shapes (sinus to random) and can be synced or run freely. The final icing on the cake is executed by the effects, especially the powerful reverb and delay.
