New TonehammerTonehammer are renowned for creating weird and wonderful sounds, many of which are derived from unique instruments created by the company themselves. These latest four releases to join the Time+Space Download Store are no exception…

Rust Vol II includes over 3,000 samples of more than 81 different type of metal “instruments” from giant aluminum poles to metal bathtubs, from slamming blast doors used as percussion instruments to massive Hercules (nuclear missile holders) metal racks, from creaking cell doors to metal objects without names, from massive metal stairs to slamming large tower rails. The library also includes a sick sample collection recorded at a sculpture park.

RRP: £53.95

Epic Tom Ensemble is a large multi-sample library dedicated to massive ensemble percussion. Tonehammer captured a variety of power articulations, using a combination of high-tuned 10″ – 14″ toms, roto-toms and octabans, various floor toms, bass drums and custom designed mega-toms. Perfect for raging battle scenes or when you just need a really loud boom.

RRP: £66.95

Mini contains several thousand samples of anything from buttons to bowling toys, wooden branches to eating chips, boiling frying pans to human hoses, nail files to pocket watches, sand-drums to styrofoam, teeth clacks to water bubbles etc. The concept may seem strange at first, but these sounds have remarkable value in terms of composition and music, since the “click” covers a very specific sound and frequency spectrum.

RRP: £53.95

Forgotten Voices: Cait Singer Cait McWhir, originally hailing from Ireland, draws her inspiration from almost 20 years of exploration with Indian, Balkan, Middle-Eastern and Celtic vocal styles. The library is constructed from over a thousand different vocal phrases covering over 15 hours of recording material. The phrases are divided into a variety of categories varying from some of the oldest songs known to man from the ancient Sanskrit chants to free improvisational phrases.

RRP: £66.95

Tonehammer_newsTonehammer is owned by Academy Award Winning Composer, Troels Folmann and TEC Award Winning Sound Designer, Mike Peaslee. Many of their unique sample packs are recorded with percussion instruments custom-built by Tonehammer themselves.

Take ‘Frendo‘ for example, a percussion and string instrument created by stringing bailing wire around and through through steel plates and bolts, over galvanize steel piping and across wood planks. The instrument holds a vast amount of otherworldly sounds, which is ideal for composers looking for new disturbing, horror-like textures for their scores.

Other titles include ‘Propanium‘ – a highly emotive, metal based, tongue drum; ‘Bamblong‘ – an exhaustively sampled bamboo log drum; ‘Rust‘ – 18 different metallic ‘instruments’; ‘Hang Drum‘ – a unique tone-based instrument, and many more.

Prices start from £19.95
