Description

Ambient Hypnotic is a unique and deeply introspective sample pack, born out of a collaboration between composer/performer Richard Reed Parry (of Arcade Fire) and percussionist Susie Ibarra. Created remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, this project explores the rhythmic patterns of heart rates and breathing, merging them with Ibarra’s expertise in Philippine gong music and extended percussion techniques. The result is a beautiful, immersive soundscape of hypnotic, flowing rhythms that are as organic and primal as they are expansive and otherworldly.

Key Features:

Unique Rhythmic Foundation: The core of this collection is built around the rhythms of heartbeats and breathing, capturing the organic and intimate pulse of life. These primal sounds are woven into intricate percussion, providing a meditative and deeply rhythmic backbone.
Cross-Cultural Percussion: Featuring traditional Philippine gongs, drums, and extended percussion, the pack infuses your productions with a rich, global percussive palette, combined with Ibarra’s modern interpretations of traditional music.
Organic Sound Design: The pack contains sounds recorded from a variety of instruments, including upright bass, piano, guitar, harp, and a wide range of unique percussion sounds, offering a vast array of tones and textures.
Ambient and Hypnotic Atmosphere: The compositions are designed to create a floating, timeless sound experience. These sounds evolve gently, immersing the listener in an ambient, meditative environment.
Creative Freedom: This sample pack offers building blocks of an album that you can interpret and reshape in any direction, perfect for creating soundtracks for films, meditation, or other mindful projects. The samples lend themselves to a broad range of styles, from experimental to cinematic, and beyond.
