Overview

Bowed and struck metal tones.

The Sculpture turns a single multi cut metal sound sculpture by Klaus Gündchen into a playable Kontakt Player instrument. Four microphone perspectives cover close, far, contact and an internal Blumlein pair, and they blend so the tone moves from tight and immediate to wide and spacious. Mallet hits, rolls, bowed tones, rubberball techniques and extended FX textures sit across plates and rods. A Single instrument gives direct response for sparse cues, while the five layer Engine adds two freely playable voices, two arpeggiators, one granular voice, slot effects and master effects.

Highlights

One handmade metal sculpture is the only sound source, recorded directly rather than built from layers or synthesis
Four mic positions to blend, including a contact mic and a Blumlein pair placed inside the metal to catch its inner resonance
Plates and rods played with mallets, rolls, bows and rubber balls, plus a set of processed textures for effects
Two instruments in one, a directly playable Single patch and a five layer Engine with arpeggiators, a granular voice and effects
Presets and example patterns built with cinematic scoring in mind
Runs in the free Kontakt Player, with no full Kontakt licence required
