Free Ableton Live Pack from ESKAMON



ill.Gates introduces a new free Ableton Live Pack: Fine Objects, created for Eskamon - a collaboration between Amon Tobin (Ninja Tune) and Eskmo (Warp, Planet Mu, Ancestor). Read on.....

"Fine Objects" is the result of the pair's unique take on sonic exploration and the manipulation of field recordings. From the onset, the two went out with a recorder, gathering sounds from around the house, yard and studio. Material recorded out of the studio included sounds from a parking garage elevator, a broken harp and the droning tones from a discarded piano. These were combined with more home-centric sounds to form the central theme to the song.

With lumbering alien bass and intentially dry, off-kilter percussion, "Objects" quickly grew into it's own symbolic representation of taking "odd pieces" and allowing them to grow into something a bit more "refined and ablaze."


As part of the release ESKAMON released a free WAV sample pack of the sounds created in the song (they want your email address first, then you can download for free). From these original WAVs, an Ableton Live pack was also created by ill.Gates for the project and give out for free with the release as well. This video is the tutorial ill.Gates shot to help explain the features he made on the Ableton side of the project.
