AFTER A LONG TIME WITHOUT RELEASING A PROJECT ENTIRELY BY MYSELF, WALDEN FEELS LIKE A VERY SPECIAL CHAPTER TO ME.

THIS PACK WAS CREATED DURING A PERIOD OF INTROSPECTION, REFLECTION AND A DESIRE TO SLOW DOWN. IT BECAME A COLLECTION OF SOUNDS SHAPED BY QUIET MOMENTS, UNCERTAINTY, CURIOSITY AND THE BEAUTY OF PAYING ATTENTION TO THINGS THAT OFTEN GO UNNOTICED.

THE PHOTO I CHOSE AS THE COVER PERFECTLY CAPTURED THAT FEELING FOR ME. A SMALL GOAT STANDING ALONE IN THE FOG. INNOCENT, LOST, VULNERABLE, YET QUIETLY MOVING FORWARD. SOMEHOW, IT ENDED UP REPRESENTING EVERYTHING I WANTED THIS PACK TO FEEL LIKE.

ALL THE SOUNDS IN WALDEN ARE INSPIRED BY ALEX BANIN, ANDREW AGED, CHANEL BEADS, DERBY, DOGGONE, JUNIOR MESA, MAKI ADAMS AND NICK HAKIM. AND AS WITH EVERY SOUND PACK I'VE EVER MADE, YOU'LL STILL FIND TRACES OF BON IVER, DIJON AND MK.GEE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROJECT, THIS TIME WITH AN EVEN STRONGER RAW, ORGANIC AND HOMEMADE FEEL.

INCLUDES:

155 DRUMS (808S, LOOPS, HATS, KICKS, PERCS, SNARES, TOMS)

36 ONE-SHOTS (BASS, HARMONICA, KEYS, PIANOS, SYNTHS)

30 SOUNDSCAPES (AMBIENCES, NOISES)

TOTAL SOUNDS: 221

AFTER YEARS OF MAKING MUSIC, BUILDING KITS, AND TESTING THOUSANDS OF SOUNDS, I REALIZED SOMETHING

THE BEST DRUMS AREN’T ALWAYS THE CRAZIEST ONES

THEY’RE THE SOUNDS YOU KEEP REACHING FOR

THE ONES THAT FIT WITHOUT EFFORT

THE ONES THAT WORK IN ALMOST EVERY SESSION

THIS DRUM STASH IS BUILT AROUND THAT IDEA
