about

the quiet stillness before the dawn


track: 03

instrument(s) used: the giant - eternity

recorded: 20140215

duration: 2:59

type: ambient piano


a complete change of pace here, one of the most ethereal, unreal, and downright soft, quiet, gentle, still, beautiful sounding sampled "instruments" - "the giant" is utterly unique, using ambient piano, reverse piano, piano strings, reverse piano strings, ancillary sounds, percussive and metallic sounds - all bundled into one of the most unique software instruments on the planet.

everything I've recorded with "the giant" so far, has come out right with just one take. the sound is so incredibly delicate, that it makes me play in an incredibly delicate and super careful way, so I end up with some truly ambient piano music the likes of which I've never heard until this instrument came along.

beautiful, useful presets, like a fantasy piano from heaven, make "the giant" the utterly unique instrument it is, and of course, over time, I will create modified versions of preset sounds and the ability to create beautiful patches with "the giant" will not be difficult!

an incredible instrument, and a very humbled player - I had little to do, I just sat and played, while "the giant" transformed my keystrokes into what you hear in this remarkable track. do I love "the giant" as an instrument? obviously! komplete continues to amaze me, as I discover and use each instrument - and this is one of the very, very best - I love it!
