Welcome to Papas St Germain's latest blog.
On April 25th 2014 ,ambient Guitars Volume 3 will be released at sampleism.com . This is Papas St Germain's 11th sample pack and is inspired by many different artists,sounds and techniques.
On this blog , i am going to go into some of the artists that inspired the library and delve into some of the techniques,equipment and processes i went through to create the sounds.Hopefully this will give y'all some insight into some of the production techniques of these influences and maybe give you some ideas for your own productions.
For this post, i'll just give an introduction into some of the musicians that inspired the sounds for the new sample pack,a list of main influences if you like.
One of the main influences on all my ambient guitar work is My Bloody Valentine.My main attraction to Kevin Sheilds style is his ability to make the guitar sounds completely unique and unlike the boring rockisms that many guitar players fall back on.He twists and bends the sounds into unusual tones and is extreme in his use of dynamic effects such as distortion and compression.I love the attitude that the guitar is a machine to be manipulated into something very different from the source sound. I'm going to post an essay on Sheilds production skills and guitar style later on in this blog.
Another big influence for me are Boards of Canada.They have a similar aesthetic to MBV in that they use interesting source sounds but arrive at and end sounds that is very different.They also use techniques such as resampling to tape numerous times ,de grading the sounds and giving them a totally unique character.
One thing that MBV and BoC have in common is a unique musicality in approaching sounds and composition.They rarely use conventional tunings when using guitars and this allows them to come up with haunting,surreal and stunningly beautiful chord progressions which gives their music a unique quality.
For Ambient Guitars Vol 3 , i also used different tunings and capos and slides,e bow etc to create sounds ,chords and chord changes that were unique to this sample pack.I'll expand further into this later on in future posts.
Other major influences i turned to for inspiration were Brian Eno(oblique strategies,blissful ambience,melody) ,Fripp(loops and repetition),Global communications(sound design,analogue processes),Jon Hopkins(melody and atmospheres), Nick Mcabe(atmospheres and delays),Philip Glass(minimal soundscapes,repetition),The Orb(repetition,balearic hooks).
All of these musicians contributed to my ideas for the sample pack and i'll explain how in future posts.
