Liminal Drums: The Fossils & Artifacts Bundle

Step into a world where vintage charm meets contemporary sonic exploration with the Fossils, Artifacts, and HalfLife Bundle. This collection features a rich variety of drum samples from the legendary Steiner-Connolly Synthacon, designed to evoke the dreamy aesthetics of classic analog recordings while bridging the gap to modern, ethereal soundscapes. Inspired by the emotive and surreal soundscapes of bands like Beach House, these samples are perfect for creating music with a haunting, nostalgic feel.

Inside the Fossils & Artifacts Drum Kits:

Each kit includes:

• 2 808s: Deep and resonant, perfect for laying a foundational groove.
• 1 Closed Hi-Hat and 1 Open Hi-Hat: Crisp and clear, adding rhythmic brightness.
• 2 Kicks: Punchy and thick, designed to drive the beat.
• A Bongo, Clave, Cowbell, and Tambourine: Each offering unique percussive flavors.
• 8 Snares: Varied in tone, from sharp cracks to mellow thuds.
• 2 Toms: Full-bodied and dynamic, adding depth to any track.

Fossils Drum Kit: This kit features 20 original sounds including all of the above, each capturing the Synthacon's distinctive analog warmth. Additionally, 18 selected sounds excluding the 808s are enhanced with an analog spring reverb, enriching their texture without compromising the integrity of the bass frequencies.

Artifacts Drum Kit: Similarly, this kit presents 20 pristine analog samples with a focus on raw, lo-fi quality. The same 18 sounds—again, excluding the 808s—are reprocessed with spring reverb through the Casio SK1, creating a gritty, atmospheric effect ideal for genres that value an ethereal, dream-like quality.

HalfLife Drum Kit: This kit contains 76 samples that further explore the liminal space between hi-fi and lo-fi. Creatively processed through the Casio SK-1, it features hi-fi sounds panned to one side and lo-fi sounds to the other, all enriched by stereo spring reverb, creating a lush, dimensional sonic experience. Sounds in both mono and stereo.
