The third installment in our new line of Experiments, this library was performed by renowned flutist Gareth Maclernon, who is known for his virtuoso performances in blockbusters such as Alien Covenant, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mary Magdalene and many more. The library was recorded on stage in the heart of London using the finest microphones to capture the nuances of Gareth's exciting performances.
Working closely with the virtuoso flutist Gareth Maclernon, we have spent weeks compiling a list of rare and experimental double bass flute techniques to create a unique library. Capturing a huge range of never-before-seen cinematic textures, harmonic embellishments, explosive articulations and true legato, we have explored whole new territory and unlocked the true potential of this magnificent instrument. The double bass flute, commonly found in orchestral environments, has been used in recent years by innovative composers such as Johann Johansson and Jed Kurzel to create unique and intriguing sonic worlds.
The textures we captured from the contrabass flute are unique to this instrument and many of them cannot be reproduced in the same way on a regular concert flute or bass flute. Gareth has a wealth of knowledge and experience and is known as one of the most sought-after and interesting flutists of his generation. The flute itself was handcrafted by Eva Kingma, a premium flute manufacturer specializing in alto, bass and contrabass flutes, and was specially designed for Gareth.
To capture Gareth's performance on this magnificent instrument, we chose a stage in the heart of London. We thought this was important because we wanted to capture every nuance in the smallest detail, resulting in clean and flexible recordings that could be used for direct aggressive sound or manipulated later to create cinematic surround sound. We have recorded several promising microphones such as Close Mono, Close Stereo, Mid Stereo and Far Stereo and used top quality mics such as the Beyer M160, AKG C414, Neumann U87 and Neumann TLM103.
