Organ Recorded with Hydrophones
For those familiar with Soundiron, we always try our best to capture the full beauty of any instrument we record. And being the weird guys we are, we always experiment a little to see if we can find some hidden magic. So we decided to travel a bit, creating the Alpha Organ library, which features two separate, full-size, century-old organs built into San Francisco’s St. Paul’s Catholic Church. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, we decided to try to extract something a little more unusual from an old microphone cabinet to capture something new in our favorite hall: a stereo pair of high-quality hydrophones. We called our unusual result Aquae Organ.
We recorded three different combinations of registers with the Alpha and Omega organs in unison, each meant to highlight a different aspect and special tonal quality of this phenomenon. Based on the source recordings, we used all our various sound design tricks and secrets to develop, transform and warp the sounds of our journey into a variety of pads, atmospheres, synth leads and ambient landscapes, from lush and harmonious to fragile and dissonant, to further unleash the creative potential of this virtual instrument. We included 12 wavetables, as well as basic synth sustains and staccato in various forms, to transform the sounds and open up new spaces of musical possibility.

This library is free, however, due to the inability to download it from the publisher’s website without any problems (installation of additional software and other inconveniences; and when trying to download from other sources – problems with VPN and constant connection breaks), and also in connection with user requests to place this library on rutracker★org, the decision to place it was made and agreed upon with the relevant moderator.
