Like the other members of the CLOUD family (see Cloud Viola and Cloud Cello) CLOUD BASS is made by ditching the conventional bow in favour of a ridiculous system of springs and pulleys that drag coarse industrial grade garden twine over the strings of the double bass to create a long, slowly distressed new bowing articulation.
Recorded with different microphone techniques and mixed with more conventional double bass articulations and a selection of multi sampled analogue sub bass waveforms CLOUD BASS is a very different beast to the usual orchestral or jazz double bass sample libraries.
Expect amazing unheard sounds – low raspy rumbling, cinematic thuds and booms, delicate wispy swarms and CLOUD BASS can easily do a half decent LOVE CATS
