班卓琴演奏通常分为两大流派:一是厄尔·斯克鲁格斯(Earl Scruggs)开创的三指拨弦蓝草风格,二是更为古老的传统敲击(Clawhammer)风格。
敲击技法与三指蓝草班卓琴演奏法所产生的声音截然不同。敲击法是指用拇指拨弦,同时用指甲背向下扫弦。这种风格既能演奏简单节奏,也能演奏包含旋律演奏的更复杂模式。其独特的声音得益于通常使用的音色较为柔和的开背班卓琴,这与蓝草音乐中偏爱的响亮的共鸣器班卓琴形成鲜明对比。
Evolution Clawhammer Banjo是首款涵盖这种演奏风格的采样库,它使用以典型的Whyte Laydie班卓琴为蓝本制作的民谣风格开背班卓琴录制而成。该乐器还包含指弹连奏技巧,以实现更多变奏。如此一来,您在演奏班卓琴连奏时,也能受益于民谣班卓琴那甜美、悠扬的音色。
我们与犹他州最负盛名的录音室之一——Rosewood Recording Company合作开发了此采样库。Rosewood Recording Company的老板兼录音工程师盖伊·兰德尔(Guy Randle)在研究如何真实再现敲击演奏风格方面发挥了核心作用,他分析了敲击法的各种连奏技巧,以确定有效捕捉这些技巧的内容和方式。Evolution Clawhammer Banjo包含原始录制信号以及增强信号,增强信号由盖伊·兰德尔通过模拟设备精心处理,以突出乐器的丰富音色特质。原始录制信号和增强信号均相位一致,可根据您的喜好进行混合。
班卓琴采样由才华横溢的多乐器演奏家瑞安·蒂尔比(Ryan Tilby)演奏,他精通蓝草和敲击两种演奏风格。瑞安·蒂尔比以其丰富的音色和风格著称,是一位备受追捧的录音室乐手,也是一位在公告牌排行榜上留名的艺人,拥有五张个人专辑。作为演奏家,瑞安曾在特柳赖德音乐节、梅尔菲斯特音乐节、粉丝音乐节、落基草音乐节以及美国无数其他音乐节上演出,还多次赴欧洲巡演。他的音乐曾在《鸭子王朝》(Duck Dynasty)、《探索频道》(Discovery Channel)和《户外摄影探险》(Outdoor Photo Adventures)等节目中播出。

Banjo playing generally falls into two main camps: the fingerpicked bluegrass style pioneered by Earl Scruggs, and the older traditional clawhammer style.
Clawhammer technique produces a very different sound compared to the three-fingered bluegrass banjo approach. The clawhammer method involves using your thumb to pluck strings accompanied by downward strums with the back of your fingernails. This style allows for simple rhythms as well as more complex patterns that include melodic playing. Its distinct sound is compounded by the typical use of the mellower-toned open back banjo, in contrast to the loud resonator banjos favored for bluegrass music.
Evolution Clawhammer Banjo is the first ever sample library to cover this playing style and was recorded using a folk-style open back banjo modeled after the archetypal Whyte Laydie banjo. The instrument also includes fingerstyle articulations for even more versatility. That way you can benefit from the sweeter, resonant sound of the folk banjo while playing banjo rolls.
We developed the library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah’s most venerable recording studios. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, had a central role in researching how to authentically recreate the clawhammer playing style, analyzing its various articulations to determine what and how to effectively capture them. Evolution Clawhammer Banjo includes an as-recorded signal as well as an enhanced signal that Guy Randle skillfully guided through analog gear to emphasize the rich tonal qualities of the instrument. Both the as-recorded and enhanced signals are phase coherent and can be blended to your taste.
The banjo samples were performed by talented multi-instrumentalist Ryan Tilby, who is well-versed in both the bluegrass and clawhammer playing styles. Known for his broad palette of sounds and styles, Ryan Tilby is an in-demand session musician as well as a Billboard charting artist with five solo albums. As a performer, Ryan has played at Telluride, Merlefest, FanFest, RockyGrass, and countless other music festivals throughout the United States, as well as having toured Europe multiple times. His music has been featured on Duck Dynasty, the Discovery Channel, and on Outdoor Photo Adventures.
