The Kalimba is a modernized version of the ancient African Mbira, also often called a thumb piano.
卡林巴琴是古代非洲安比拉琴的现代化版本,也常被称为拇指钢琴。
It has a humble, melodious percussive plucking sound with a marimba-like warmth and tonal body.
它有一个谦逊的,旋律优美的打击弹拨声与马林巴般的温暖和音调体。
It is often used in conjunction with pianos and other tuned percussion instruments to add a sharper attack and playfulness to the sound.
它经常与钢琴和其他调谐打击乐器一起使用,以增加更尖锐的攻击和游戏性的声音。
Our instruments were made of wood and coconut shell, with hammered steel tines suspended over their sound holes.
我们的乐器是用木头和椰子壳做的,在音孔上有钢制的尖头。
The notes span about an octave and a half for the smaller of our two instruments and over two octaves for the larger kalimba.
在我们两种乐器中,较小的乐器的音阶约为一个半八度,较大的卡琳巴音阶超过两个八度。
We recorded kalimbas in 3 different environments: Close and Dry in our studio;
我们在3个不同的环境中录制了kalimbas:在我们的工作室中关闭和干燥;
at medium distance in a small bright chamber;
在一个小而明亮的房间里,中等距离;
and in a large, long linear hall, at both close (1 meter) and far (15 meters) microphone distances.
在一个大的,长线性大厅,在近(1米)和远(15米)的麦克风距离。
We call our long hall “The Bunker”, because that’s exactly what it really is – a deep underground World War 1-era artillery bunker.
我们称这个长长的大厅为“地堡”,因为这正是它的真实面目——一个第一次世界大战时期的地下碉堡。
It’s one of our favorite secret locations, used for some parts of the Rust 2 library and several other instruments in our collection.
这是我们最喜欢的秘密地点之一,Rust 2图书馆的一些部分和我们收藏的其他一些乐器都在这里。
The dry recording was done with a stereo pair of large-diaphragm condensers at 2 inches away in a very dry space.
干录音是在一个非常干燥的空间里,用一对大隔膜的立体声冷凝器在2英寸远的地方完成的。
You’ll hear a little bit of wood scuffing and creaking.
你会听到一些木头的磨损和吱吱声。
We think those elements help to give the instruments a truer life-like sound and feel.
我们认为这些因素有助于给乐器一个更真实的生活的声音和感觉。
