REQ: Fragments Modern Percussion by Sonuscore
For FRAGMENTS – MODERN PERCUSSION, we were looking to design something that would push the boundaries of beat creation. To turn everything on its head, but make it all seem to flow logically and in its place, like a Wes Anderson film. And despite the label “modern”, this percussion instrument embraces organic life and is inspired from the everyday sounds that we find on the street, at home, and even on ourselves.
It’s a quirky instrument that will undoubtedly become a go-to percussion for composers and musicians seeking a different and unique sound. Designed with ingenious randomization options and an interesting and dynamic set of source sounds, composers and musicians will find endless inspiration.
Our instrument designers Matthias Meeh and Jonas Hausotter wanted to create fresh and unique rhythms for their own music and came up with the idea to build an instrument from the ground up. “The idea came from two things: One was a track that Jonas did a few years ago, which had unique percussion elements like a nail clipper used as a bass drum. And I also wanted more unusual percussion sounds for my compositions.”
Jonas himself was inspired by the musician Max Cooper. “He has a song where it sounds like he uses many samples and other sounds that sometimes resemble rain. I was tired of hearing the same percussion in every song… they all sound so similar. So I liked that idea of using field recordings or other unconventional sounds for percussion.”
And so FRAGMENTS – MODERN PERCUSSION was born.
