4. SOUNDIRON version SOUNDIRON We welcome you to the Soundiron Angklung his library is a full ranged traditional tuned percussion instrument originating from Indonesia dating back to roughly the 7 Century AD Over the past thousand years it has spread widely throughout Southeast Asia and Polynesia and can be heard in a variety of traditional and modern music from gamelan orchestras to pop bands and jazz ensembles The Angklung is actually best thought of as a set of several individual single note instruments each one comprised of a pair of bamboo tubes in a higher lower octave pair sounded by a loose rattle The result is a uniquely full clear but short sustaining dry note It can be played as single short notes or sustaining rattling rolls ln some cases multiple performers will play together to create a cooperative unified melody or as a large ensemble wall of sound Just as often you ll see a single player jumping from one or two note chord to another in rapid succession to perform nuanced solo melodies and harmonies For this massive dedicated Angklung multi sample library we ve recorded a set of 18 Angklung notes tuned over a major scale spanning nearly 3 full octaves We captured them up close in a dry studio and out in a large open hall with 3 mic positions close mid far We recorded each up and down stroke separately with 48 round robin variations per velocity per note for the dry 24 up 24 down and 6 round robin variations
