简介

demotapes 是旧金山制作人兼艺术家 Parker Livingston，绰号 “微型军鼓之王”，你可能还从其他方面认识他：

• 制作人Tok的灵感源泉
• 发行过多个样本包，包括他加入的独立流行二人组 Cassette Tapes 和个人厂牌 “soundblocks”
• 最新发布了首张迷你专辑 “with friends”，都是在过去一年通过 Discord 与朋友远程合作完成的

“droplets” 凝结了 Parker 数百小时的声音设计和作曲心血。他说：“毫无疑问，这是我做过的最棒的样本包。” 包含:

• 83 个细致入微的歌曲开篇音色
• 丰富的音色纹理，可用作衬底音色和氛围铺垫，与任何类型音乐轻松融合
• 当然，少不了 demotapes 标志性的微型鼓乐，包括敲击、填充和循环

我们在海湾边采访了 Parker，问他 “droplets” 对他意味着什么。他说：“我的样本音色很大程度上受旧金山和水的影响。无论是加入海洋 Foley 声音，还是制作富有流动性的弯曲合成器音色，这些都是打动我的声音。”

原文

demotapes is San Francisco-based producer and artist Parker Livingston. We call him the king of the tiny snare, but you may know him for many things: he is a vessel of inspiration on producer-tok and has released a handful of sample packs, with his indie-pop duo Cassette Tapes as well as under his own imprint “soundblocks.” He is also fresh off the release of his debut EP, “with friends”, all made over a series of discord calls with friends over the last year.

‘droplets’ is the result of hundreds of hours of sound design and composition. “It’s no doubt my favorite pack I’ve ever made,” Parker tells us. A large focus has been put on tonal content, boasting 83 highly detailed song-starters, as well as plentiful tonal textures which serve as pedal tones and ambient drones that layer with just about anything. And of course it wouldn’t be a demotapes pack without his signature microscopic drums, available as hits, fills, and loops.

Sitting bayside, we asked Parker about what ‘droplets’ means to him: “so much of the sound of my samples are influenced by living in San Francisco and being near water. Whether it’s layering foley sounds of the ocean, or making plucky synths that bend and stretch fluidly– those are the sounds that speak to me.”
