想象一下,把钢琴的琴弦全部替换成铜锣,打造出一件能够产生深沉、令人敬畏持续音(Drone)的乐器。

采样让我们能够实现不可能——唯一的限制就是我们的想象力。以这四面来自意大利罗马、经过精美调音与和声匹配的铜锣为基础,我们运用了全新的 Shepherd Mapping(谢泼德映射)技术,扩展其音域,创造出一款以铜锣为核心的半音阶乐器,其演奏响应方式如同钢琴一般自然。搭载全新的通用引擎与图形界面,Gong Piano 为你提供了一个能够创造脉动感、充满压迫感持续音的声音环境,探索前所未有的音色深度与神秘氛围。

它包含由 Christian Henson 设计的敲击声、刮奏声、泛音与持续音,每一种都保留着极其自然的有机质感(尽管从声音上听起来,这种“生物”似乎并不属于这个星球)。从柔和的金属马林巴风格音色,到令人着迷的打击乐音色——让人联想到 Hang Drum(手碟)或轻柔演奏的钢鼓——再到更激烈演奏时,这些非凡乐器所爆发出的复杂共鸣、竞争性泛音与交感泛音的震撼咆哮。

Imagine replacing the strings of a piano with gongs to create a tool that generates deep, fearsome drones.

Sampling allows us to achieve the impossible – the only limitation is our imagination. In the case of these four beautifully harmonised gongs from Rome, Italy, we expand on their tonal range using our new Shepherd Mapping technique to create a gong-based chromatic instrument that responds just like a piano would. Housed in our all-new universal engine and GUI, the Gong Piano is an environment to create pulsing, ominous drones with newfound sonic depths full of foreboding mystery. It features hits, scrapes, harmonics and drones designed by Christian Henson, all with a truly organic hallmark (though from the sound of it, the organism isn’t of this planet). From soft metallic marimba-style tones to enigmatic percussive sonics that are reminiscent of a hang drum or softly played steel drum, all the way to the roar of complex competing and sympathetic harmonics of these extraordinary instruments when played more aggressively.
