David Oliver is a celebrated percussionist renowned for his dynamic and compelling contributions to the soundtracks of many award-winning films and TV shows, operates from his Somerset, UK-based studio. His innovative approach caught the attention of the acclaimed composer William Goodchild in 2012. Their first collaboration was for the National Geographic wildlife documentary "Ultimate Honey Badger," where David's rhythm ensemble recordings played a significant part. This project turned out to be exceptionally successful, garnering the highest viewership in its category on the channel in 2014, according to Earth Touch News Network on January 9, 2014.
This initial success led to a series of notable collaborations with Goodchild, including on "Africa’s Giant Killers" (BBC Natural World, 2015) and "Jago: A Life Underwater" (James Morgan Films, co-directed by James Reed, 2015), which received the Jackson Hole Grand Teton Award and Wildscreen Panda Award in 2016. David has also collaborated with Emmy award-winning composer Barnaby Taylor on soundtracks for "Elephant Family And Me" (BBC Natural World, 2016) and "Ghost of the Mountain" (Disney Nature, 2017).
Rhythmic Origins transforms the Kontakt platform into a playground of percussive possibilities. With its automation-ready sound-shaping controls, users gain unprecedented creative control over swell, attack, release, and much more. This library isn't just about accessing a wide array of percussion sounds; it's about sculpting those sounds to perfectly suit your musical vision.
The adaptable LFO system and comprehensive filter options pave the way for dynamic musical expressions, enabling subtle timbral shifts or dramatic rhythmic variations with ease. Coupled with the library's customizable arpeggiator, musicians can explore rhythmic patterns and sequences that breathe life into compositions.
Rhythmic Origins' modular FX rack panel serves as your laboratory for sound exploration, featuring 27 DSP effect modules for crafting unique sonic landscapes. From classic phasers and delays to innovative distortion and EQ settings, each effect can be meticulously tailored to your needs. The extensive collection of convolution reverb impulse responses, including diverse rooms and outdoor environments, along with 40 custom FX impulses, allows composers to transport their sounds across spatial and textural dimensions, offering endless possibilities for musical exploration.
Optimized for the full version of Kontakt 6.5.3 or later, this library extends beyond traditional sampling. It is crafted to harness the power of Kontakt's advanced sampling capabilities, offering users an intuitive and flexible toolset for manipulating unique sounds. While the library operates in a "demo mode" on the free Kontakt Player, its open-format design allows for broad compatibility with WAV-compatible software, ensuring that the sounds of the SoundIron Rhythmic Origins can inspire music creation across a wide array of platforms. This library represents not just a collection of sounds, but a gateway to uncharted auditory experiences, encouraging musicians to explore, experiment, and express in new and exciting ways.
