Hive Sampling is my new company, in partnership with film composer Sean Jackson. I'm running the recording sessions, editing acoustic audio, designing new sounds, and running the site. Sean programmed the interface, including all the KSP scripting (the engine will be available open source when we're completely done with it). He also helps create the sounds in the studio and via synth programming. We're excited to launch our first three virtual instruments real soon!

Here's a taste of one of our first libraries. This isn't the cleaned up or mastered version of the audio, but it gives you an idea of one of my favorite parts of the instrument. The shorts have 32 round robbins and the one-shots are practically alien!

Score of Bottles is a virtual instrument for Kontakt Player 5.6.6. I sampled 20 different bottles in 5 round robin shorts and one sustain patch. Available now is the free version:

The commercial version will include fingered and bowed glass, bottle effects, more modulation parameters/toggles, and a single instrument window.
