Morfbeats

Ready for the maiden voyage

Dialed for the first Soft Pets session.

Playing found objects and experimental instruments such as my Marvin here can be a freeing experience sometimes, as percussionists, we can get bound up in the “rules and regulations” associated with a particular drum or tradition, and I often forget sometimes it’s “correct” to “just play” Having more fun with @songathletics “Alchemia” virtual instrument here with an underscore idea…. Continual thanks to the @morfbeats folks over in Colorado USA for supplying me with such wonderful inspiration ! #percussion_creativity #percussion #percussion_instruments #soundtrack #cinematic

NEXTGEN BUILD #morfbeats #marvin

Distorting this @morfbeats Marvin via @ableton Saturator creates a fairly beastly sound !! - careful with your ears on this one if you’re wearing headphones ~ I also used the “bladerunner” reverb preset on my @valhalladsp vintage verb which has a 10 second tail 🤭 The sounds are there to enjoy ….. #percussion_creativity #percussion #percussion_instruments #studio #percussionist

MY MARVIN HAS ARRIVED! 💀 Big thank you to @morfbeats for sending me this inspiration ~ I’ve already used it on a session and I think it’s going to become a favourite ! Some info on this amazing beast : The Marvin is a custom built, experimental instrument created by Adam Morford (of @morfbeats ) Inspired by his grandfather’s tools, Adam constructed the instrument from steel rods, springs, and resonating bells. The Marvin acts as both a musical instrument and a sound effect tool, creating unique, non-traditional, and emotional auditory textures, metallic screeches, deep rumbles, and dissonant, otherworldly and intense, haunting textures. The Marvin is frequently used for sound design in films and computer games, notably appearing in Alan Wake 2 Use 🎧 to appreciate the sound - x2 @colesmicrophonesofficial 4038s, a @beyerdynamic M160 in the bell and @neumann.berlin TLM67 as an overhead - no FX or EQ added ! Send me a message or comment if you’d like to hear this sound on your music - more sound samples are in the pipeline so please follow me for more ! #percussion_creativity #percussion #percussion_instruments #groove #studio #percussionista #drumsdrumsdrums #percussionist #marvin #filmscore #cinematic #soundtrack #filmcomposer
