The Abstraction Sample Line is a downloadable series of ultramodern samples, loops, hits, and construction kits provided in industry standard formats including Apple Loops, Acid Loops, REX2, AIFF, and WAV.

"Abstraction 03: Found Sound Club Edition" is an eclectic all-you-can-eat buffet of domestic "found sound" purposefully polished, refined, and formated into rhythmic loop adders which are designed to spice up your percussive pallet and inject freshness into your grooves. It's a cornucopia of pseudo organic glitch rhythms and real-world sampled eccentricism where any household sound - from the hand saw, to the power drill, to literally the kitchen sink - is fair game as a substitution for a normal drum machine.

All Abstraction 03 loop content is produced at a native tempo of 128 BPM and is easily stretched to fit all tempo ranges used in current dance music sub-genres. Abstraction 03 is particularly suitable for: Tech House • Minimal • Progressive • Electro • Deep House • DnB and Breaks • Ambient and Chill Out • Glitch Hop • Trip Hop • Electronica and IDM • Left Field • Abstract Rock • Film and Game Scoring • Sound FX • and any other cross-genre music style that successfully borrows from these influences

• All loops are provided without standard embedded kick/snare/high-hat patterns. This makes the loops much more usable in various genres of dance music where the producer is free to mix and arrange them with his own favorite samples.

• All samples are made in stereo and make use of extreme spatial processing techniques at the sample level to produce sounds that literally jump out of the speakers. This produces loops which are very active spatially while keeping perfect silence in-between hits when desired. The result is loops that can cut and punch through even dense mixes without taking up huge amounts of mix space.

• All loops are provided without additional auxiliary reverb or delay effects. This keeps the loops pristinely clean and sharp, enables easy custom slicing and editing, and allows send effects to be added as needed at the mix stage by the producer to perfectly suite the needs of the given project. The result is more flexibility and better coherence between the loops and the other elements of the project.

There is harmony in household appliances, there is rhythm in rhubarb, and there is melody in machinery! Embrace the strangely natural and naturally strange. Find music in the overlooked and unappreciated sounds of every day life. Tell your story with a garbage disposal. Replace your cymbal patterns with a box of nails. Harvest chaos patterns in the natural world and give them subjective interpretation and meaning like a Shaman casting Runes. Peak curiosity and bend listener expectations with ear-tickling, lyrical percussion performances.

Electronic musicians, artists, producers, DJs, scoring professionals, multi-media developers, and synthesis/sound-design enthusiasts of all experience levels who are looking for an easy way to escape the sonic banality of the overpopulated "me-too" market and embrace the unexpected will find this collection an invaluable coup de theatre. Anyone looking for a new way to tip the balance between musical predictability and surprise will find it here in this yard-sale cornucopia of pseudo-organic oddities, fresh vine-ripened polyrhythms, and random object obscurity.

Modern electronic and urban music production is highly dependent on technical sound-design elements to infuse novelty and uniqueness into the music of today and tomorrow. These elements however, do not always need to be digitally synthesized completely from scratch as we have done in the past with our Architecture Line products. Sometimes they may be captured with a microphone and coerced from the great Universal Turning Machine we call life.

Abstraction 03 follows this approach. Thousands of single hit "performances" of several hundred different domestic objects found around the house are first recorded at 96K/24bit resolution to use as raw sample content. This content then undergoes selection, refinement, and enhancement using the latest and greatest signal processing tools and secret techniques. Multi-sample sets are then carefully chosen and paired together to function as instruments, and finally these instruments are used to create highly creative and inspirational performances which are captured and meticulously formated into industry standard loop formats.
