Preparist β The Ultimate Avant-Garde Percussion Library π₯πΉ
Break free from ordinary sounds! Preparist is not your typical sample library β itβs a bold, percussive masterpiece created from a vintage Gustav Rosler upright piano, meticulously prepared, modified, and played with everything imaginable: hammers, chains, magnets, sticks, fists, elbowsβ¦ and more. The result? A massive, organic, and modern-sounding percussion library that oozes character and inspiration. Perfect for composers, sound designers, and experimental musicians seeking fresh, cinematic textures.
Why Preparist Stands Out:
-
π Unique Percussive Sound: Every note carries the organic nuance of prepared piano techniques.
-
πΆ Avant-Garde Inspirations: Inspired by John Cage, Krzysztof Penderecki, George Crumb, and other modernist visionaries.
-
β‘ Dynamic & Playable: Fully designed for expressive, real-time performance in your DAW or sampler.
Sonic Extension of the Avant-Gardist Series:
Fans of prepared piano will love Avant-Gardist: Tonally Prepared Cinematic Piano, our flagship library for melodies, harmonies, and textures. Preparist started as an extension of Avant-Gardist, but its percussive quality and cinematic depth demanded a standalone release. Both libraries share a consistent, organic sonic character, yet each excels in its domain:
-
Avant-Gardist: Ideal for melodic and harmonic experimentation.
-
Preparist: Perfect for percussive, rhythmic, and cinematic textures.
Enhanced & Redesigned for Percussion:
We didnβt just repurpose sounds β we re-recorded and redesigned selected Avant-Gardist samples to craft top-quality percussion:
-
Layered hits for full-bodied impact
-
Shortened attacks for precise rhythmic play
-
Carefully selected round robins for natural variation
-
Added compression for modern punch
π§ Whether youβre scoring films, designing soundscapes, or exploring avant-garde compositions, Preparist offers a sonic palette thatβs inspiring, organic, and truly unique. Elevate your productions with a library that doesnβt just sound different β it feels different.
