Hollow Sun SAMPLETEKK 'INIL CHOIR'

via Steve Howell of Hollow Sun on
The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"We're very chuffed to announce that we've had a little hand in this unique library.... the vocal washes from 10cc's 'I'm not in love'...

Our friends at SampleTekk managed to secure the rights from 10cc's Eric Stewart to make the astonishing vocal washes of their seminal hit record, a production masterpiece, "I'm not in love", available as a sample library and SampleTekk honoured us by asking HS to put together a Kontakt GUI for the project.

Not just an honour but enormously exciting because, as far as I am concerned, 'INIL' is one of the best records ever made.

The band spent three weeks recording hours of 'aaaahs' of individual notes onto 16 track, creating big stacks of vocals which were then mixed down to countless stereo reel-to-reels which were then bounced back to to the 16 track and some tracks further bounced down within the 16-track leaving a few tracks let for the Rhodes, Eric's vocal, some bass (from co-writer Graham Gouldman), a (synthesised) kick drum (done on MiniMoog) from Kevin Godley plus some grand piano and, of course, the 'Big boys don't cry' from 10cc's studio secretary. And then the band 'played' their Helios mixing desk, fading and punching in and out this astonishing wash of vocal textures. A leviathan achievement and quite frankly, it was quite eerie to have in our possession the raw recordings from such a classic record.

Gravity, The Sonic Manipulator.wmv

"This one's a bit more up to date......off my last CD (must get busy on a new one) 'Spaceman'
I used a lot of breath controlled brass with the Yamaha VL70M. A great physical modeling synth from the late 90's. A bit of Stravinsky like angst in the final climax before gravity wins and drags you back to earth.

Hope you like it. Claude Woodward - The Sonic Manipulator.

"Greetings all........This is a track I'm particularly fond of from my first solo album back in 1989.
Lot's of old synths used on it but I particularly like the solo on my modified Moog Sonic Six with 'Vibe Bar' & gliss strip.

Enjoy.......

"Here are some musical examples using my Claude Controller with keyboard 'Vibe Bar' and peddle board. I explain how to use the wheels etc to shape the sound in real time, thereby allowing the synthesiser to become a much more expressive instrument.
It's still early days and I'm working on my technique to fully exploit the vast sonic possibilities of VST plugins.
