KONTAKT – 1,26 GB

一个非传统的、充满奇思妙想的手工乐器合集

这个音源库，用一个词概括，就是非凡。它收录了一系列由一位真正独特的人所构思和建造的非传统有调及无调乐器。其中的主角是他独一无二的发明，如风箱电话（Bellowphone）、瓶子风琴（Bottle Organ）和Oomphalapompatronium，不过这个合集也包含了一些更常见的乐器。Leonard Solomon的非凡机器特别适合轻松愉快、充满奇思妙想的曲目，特定的音效设计应用，以及突破常规的灵感。我们希望这些充满想象力的创作能将您的创造力推向全新的方向。

关于这个音源库

科班出身的音乐家、发明家和一人乐队Leonard Solomon拥有一个与众不同的头脑。从1983年的Majestic风箱电话开始，他就带着他的非凡机器在街头、著名的音乐厅和国家电视台为观众带来欢乐（观看这个WIRED的专题报道，了解更多他的故事）。通过这个采样音源库，我们希望保存他的遗产，并与同行音乐家分享他创作的迷人与奇趣。

这些机器都是用捡来的、回收的或从五金店购买的材料手工建造的，然后巧妙地组合成前所未闻的东西。每一件乐器都是独一无二的，拥有其独特的个性和色彩。

Leonard Solomon的非凡机器是为寻求独特、非常规和拾得声音的制作人提供的完美解决方案，这些声音无需额外努力即可融合。我们努力捕捉Leonard Solomon的独特个性，无论是他的想法还是他的乐器，我们希望您能像我们一样发现它们在创意上的启发性！

音源库内容

从精心制作的风箱电话到令人费解的Oomphalapompatronium，Leonard Solomon独特的乐器创造出能让观众着迷、激发创作者灵感并挑战现状的声音。为了帮助您更好地理解这个由奇特创作组成的折衷合集，我们为每件乐器都整理了一份简短描述。

非凡机器

• 风箱电话 (Bellowphone)：在Len的地下室木工坊里建造，风箱电话是一个由许多独立的管乐器和打击乐器组成的多功能乐器，由一个脚踏泵（即其同名的风箱）驱动。风箱电话主要由拾得和回收材料制成，包括金属管、纸板管、弹簧、衣架线、烤面包机的金属片、吸尘器零件、锡罐和管道零件。风箱电话的其余部件——游乐场球、漏斗、螺丝、卡祖笛和鼻笛！——则是从当地五金店和体育用品商店购买的。
• 瓶子风琴 (Bottle Organ)：手工制作的乳胶球风箱连接到一系列悬挂在定制木框架中的定音瓶子，构成了这个独一无二的创作。瓶子风琴拥有柔和、圆润的风琴音色，让人联想到嘉年华游戏和世界博览会的音乐。
• Oomphalapompatronium：Leonard Solomon收藏的奇珍异宝中的皇冠明珠，Oomphalapompatronium（发音为“Oom-Fah-Lah-Pom-Pah-Troh-Nee-Um”）由轮子、陶器、锡罐和水瓶制成。这个令人难以置信的发明以按钮板代替键盘。一个径向球泵被用来自动填充储气罐，进而驱动一个强大的号角部分，发出非凡音乐音调的美妙杂音。
• Callioforte：两个半八度的半音阶管哨音，散发着中世纪和空灵的高音；是创作柔和旋律和奇趣钩子的完美乐器。

其他启发灵感的声音

• 杂项 (Miscellaneous)：Leonard Solomon的房子是一座名副其实的手工乐器和发声创作博物馆。我们的杂项音色包含一套直接从Leonard非凡的家中墙壁、架子和柜子里提取的拾得声音：气动钹、布谷鸟机器、小号、笑号、颤鸣口哨。
• 有调号角 (Tonal Horns)：一组来自Len四个独特号角的吹奏和乐句：大号角、Lurch号角、狩猎号角和持续音号角。
• 卡祖笛 (Kazoo)：卡祖笛是Leonard Solomon声音的核心部分。我们确保捕捉了Len最喜欢的乐器，并将其作为独奏乐器，为需要古灵精怪的旋律铺垫和旋律的制作人提供最大的多功能性和可用性。在这个数字时代，当它被重度处理并用作声音设计源时，也能创造奇迹。
• 声音设计 – 无调 (Sound Design Atonal)：一套大型设计的无调音床、效果、奇特声音和噪音，为您的曲目增添质感、深度和悦耳细节。这个音色是填补空间的粘合剂，能将普通的音乐作品提升到独特而引人入胜的层次。
• 声音设计 – 有调 (Sound Design Tonal)：一套来自Len庞大的发声器收藏的拾得声音和单次录制的音调，经过重度处理和声音设计，用作效果、音床和音乐纹理。声源包括男中音瓶子、大脑剃刀、杯子长笛、Oompha合成器、巨大的卡祖笛和小丑鼻子和弦。

手工打造，独一无二的乐器
每台机器都由Leonard Solomon本人亲手制作，并赋予了在别处听不到的非凡个性。所有录制都在它们被发明的同一空间完成：Leonard Solomon的木工坊和家中。

四款标志性的“非凡机器”
Leonard Solomon心爱的多功能乐器风箱电话是主角；其他独特的机器是瓶子风琴、Oomphalapompatronium和Callioforte。

海量杂项声音
除了大型乐器外，这个合集还包括Leonard Solomon的气动钹、布谷鸟机器、小号、笑号、颤鸣口哨、精选的独特号角等等。

逼真且可定制
乐器的机械噪音和功能部件都经过了精心录制，包括自动填充的瓶子和风箱、泵的机械装置、释放声等等。就像Leonard用他的真实乐器所做的那样，您可以调整音调和效果，从微妙到极度不和谐。

理想的声音设计工具
包含有调和无调声音的合集，这些声音经过处理和设计，非常适合用于纹理、效果等。

An unconventional, whimsical collection of handmade instruments
This library is, in a word, extraordinary. Featuring an unconventional collection of tonal and atonal instruments conceived and built by one truly unique man. The stars of the show are his one-of-a-kind inventions like the Bellowphone, Bottle Organ, and Oomphalapompatronium, though the collection is filled out by more familiar instruments as well. Leonard Solomon’s Extraordinary Machines is especially well suited for lighthearted and whimsical tracks, specific sound design applications, and outside-the-box inspiration. We hope these fanciful creations will push your creativity in all-new directions.

About the Library
Classically trained musician, inventor, and one-man-orchestra Leonard Solomon has a mind like no other. Starting with the Majestic Bellowphone in 1983, he’s been delighting audiences on the street, in acclaimed concert halls, and on national television with his extraordinary machines (check out this WIRED feature for more of his story). Through this sample library, we hope to preserve his legacy and share the charm and whimsy of his creations with fellow musicians.

These machines have all been hand-built from materials that were found, salvaged, or purchased from hardware stores and then ingeniously combined into something never before heard. Every instrument is one-of-a-kind, with its own character and color.

Leonard Solomon’s Extraordinary Machines is the perfect solution for producers looking for unique, unusual, and found sounds that require no extra effort to blend. We’ve worked to capture Leonard Solomon’s unique character, both in his ideas and his instruments, and we hope you find them as creatively inspiring as we do!

Library Content
From the masterfully crafted Bellowphone to the mind-bending Oomphalapopatronium, Leonard Solomon’s unique musical instruments create sounds to fascinate audiences, inspire creators and challenge the status quo. To help you understand this eclectic collection of odd creations a bit better, we’ve put together a brief description of each instrument.

Extraordinary Machines
Bellowphone: Constructed in Len’s basement woodshop, the Bellowphone is a multi-instrument composed of many individual wind and percussion instruments activated by a foot pump (the eponymous bellow). The Bellowphone is chiefly made out of found and salvaged materials, including metal pipes, cardboard tubes, springs, coat-hanger wire, sheet-metal from a toaster, vacuum-cleaner pieces, tin cans, and plumbing parts. The rest of the Bellowphone’s components — playground balls, funnels, screws, kazoo, and nose-flute! — were purchased from local hardware and sports equipment stores.

Bottle Organ: Hand-made latex ball bellows connected to a series of pitched bottles suspended in a custom wood frame make up this one-of-a-kind creation. The Bottle Organ boasts soft, round organ tones reminiscent of carnival games and world fair music.

Oomphalapompatronium: A crown jewel in the Leonard Solomon collection of oddities, the Oomphalapompatronium (pronounced “Oom-Fah-Lah-Pom-Pah-Troh-Nee-Um”) is made from a wheel, pottery, tin cans, and water bottles. In place of a keyboard, this incredible invention features a button board. A radial ball pump is used to automatically fill the air reservoir, which in turn powers a robust horn section that delivers a wonderful cacophony of extraordinary musical tones.

Callioforte: Two and a half octaves of chromatic pipe whistle tones that drip medieval and airy high tones; the perfect instrument for soft melodies, and whimsical hooks.

Other Inspiring Sounds
Miscellaneous: Leonard Solomon’s house is a veritable museum of hand-made musical instruments and sound making creations. Our Miscellaneous patch includes a small suite of found-sounds pulled straight from the walls, shelves and cabinets of Leonard’s extraordinary home: Pneumatic Cymbal, Cuckoo Machine, Small Horn, Laughing Horn, Warbler Whistle.

Tonal Horns: A set of horn blasts and phrases from four of Len’s unique horns: Big Horn, Lurch Horn, Hunting Horn, and Drone Horn.

Kazoo: The kazoo is a core piece of the Leonard Solomon sound. We made sure to capture Len’s favorite as a solo instrument to provide the most versatility and usability for producers in need of quirky melodic beds and melodies. In this digital age, it also works wonders when highly processed and used as a sound design source.

Sound Design Atonal: A large suite of designed atonal soundbeds, effects, oddities and noises to add texture, depth and ear candy onto your tracks. This patch is the glue that fills in spaces and takes ordinary musical compositions to the next level of unique and compelling.

Sound Design Tonal: A collection of found sounds and single-capture tones from Len’s massive collection of noise makers, heavily processed and sound designed for use as effects, sound beds, and musical textures. Sound sources include Baritone Bottle, Brain Razor, Cup Flute, Oompha Synth, Gargantuan Kazoo and Clown Nose Chord.

Hand-built, one-of-a-kind instruments
Each machine was hand-crafted by Leonard Solomon himself and imbued with incredible character you won’t hear anywhere else. All recorded in the same space they were invented: Leonard Solomon’s wood shop and home.

Four signature “extraordinary machines”
Leonard Solomon’s beloved multi-instrument Bellowphone is the star of the show; other unique machines are the Bottle Organ, Oomphalapompatronium, and Callioforte.

Miscellaneous sounds galore
In addition to the larger instruments, this collection includes Leonard Solomon’s Pneumatic Cymbal, Cuckoo Machine, Small Horn, Laughing Horn, Warbler Whistle, a selection of distinctive horns, and more.

Lifelike and customizable
Mechanical noises and functional parts of the instruments have been meticulously recorded, including autofilling bottles and bellows, pump mechanics, releases, and more. Just as Leonard does with his real instruments, dial in the tuning and effects from subtle to wildly discordant.

Ideal for sound design
Includes collections of both tonal and atonal sounds that have been processed and designed to be perfect for texture, effects, and more.
