A REALISTIC AND CREATIVE APPROACH TO SAMPLE LIBRARIES

Creative Approach to Sampling

With so many great options these days for standard techniques and articulations, we focus on including more options of unusual articulations such as col legno tratto (NO! Not regular col legno, but instead where you bow the strings with the wood of the bow, creating an unusual, haunting tone), recording a 55 Gallon Oil Drum (like you’d see in the back of a car parts store) as a percussion instrument, and more.

We also focus on dry, close micing techniques to give the samples an ultra-realisitc sound that blends in seamlessly with live recording.

In addition, some of the libraries are recorded through reel to reel tape, slowed down and otherwise manipulated.

About Us

Strange Creations Audio is born from a need of samples, recording techniques and articulations that weren’t available in other libraries.

Infused with a passion for experimenting with sampling instruments and strange sounds in ways that sound unique in order to use sample libraries without sounding generic — running things through a tape machine and re-recording it at slower tape speeds, etc.

Home brewed in Los Angeles.

This is not your source for ultra-polished, produced sounds.
