The Sound Of Matra CONTENT BANK FOR PHASE PLANT [FREE]
17/05/2024 | CONTENT BANK FOR PHASE PLANT | 404 MB
Experimental Content Bank inspired by Fekete Zaj Festival (“Black Noise” in English), organized in the highest Hungarian mountain, Mátra.
For its 15th anniversary, Fekete Zaj Festival has turned its location, the Matra hills, and its topographical forms into wavetables, which have been used to create these Phase Plant presets.
This campaign has been created and executed by Hungarian full-service advertising agency, Mediator, with a little help from Kilohearts. Check out the interactive BLACK_NOISE web page to find out more.
The Fekete Zaj Festival and Matra are inseparable. This is not only because of the event’s location, Mátra-Sástó, which provides a pleasant mountain atmosphere, but also because of the beautiful surrounding nature, which creates an exciting contrast with the niche music programs of the festival.
But what kind of sound can this particular black noise actually be?
Darkrock, blackmetal, drone-ambient, industrial, post-punk, sadcore, techno? – all of the above!
Such are the sounds adored by the headliner bands and the festival fan community, which are tied together by the need to break away from conventions and by the love of dark tones.
This 20-piece preset collection with unique patches created during the official collaboration is now available for free, so all Phase Plant owners can use it and play the experimental sound of Mátra mountain in their music all over the world. It also includes original nature field recordings from various Mátra locations.
The various presets in this bank have been made based on the terrain in cooperation with the bands performing at the festival, to promote the summer programs. The sound map is also available on the festival’s website (https://www.feketezaj.hu/soundofmatra) so anyone can experiment with it.
Make some noise and try out the experimental sounds of Mátra!
