If you were to explain the sounds and kits of this project in just a few sentences, how would you put it?
I would describe the sound as an experimental blend of electronic and organic percussive textures, surrounded by deep multidimensional spaces. One kit can contain sounds from five to seven different iconic drum machines and synths layered with live instruments and sounds of nature. This mix of audio elements gives the sounds their natural, involving 3D feeling.

Black Hole, Space and Earth – three libraries, each with its own very specific theme. Why did you go in these directions?
It’s like zooming out from our tangible reality into infinity. We start from the place we all know, the Earth, and go into the unknown, which is Space. Black Hole symbolizes the reality we can’t see or touch, it’s the mystery that connects each atom of our Universe. That was an inspiration for each library.

Field recordings blended with machines and even layers of dolphin, bird and whale sounds in some of these samples. How and why?
I started experimenting with such multi-layering around ten years ago for my project Sound Kalpa. I was searching for the unique blends, where one can’t say where the sound originally came from. The goal was to create sounds that contain the best from both worlds: cosmic depth and spatiality from electronics as well as organic frequencies, we, as humans, have been surrounded by for millions of years.

When creating the sounds, you didn’t only rely on digital tools – you also used a lot of analog outboard. Why was this a key factor for this project?
From the very start I decided to go analog as much as possible, using no VSTs and almost no plugins. All machines and synths went through constantly changing complex analog chains, tape delays and different vintage reverbs or acoustic spaces. Nowadays many plugins sound really good, but there is some magic about the sound that travels through wires, tubes and transformers. I can’t put it into words, it’s rather about how it feels.

What do you hope that users take away from using this expansion?
I hope this expansion will help musicians and producers expand their creativity and inspire them to go beyond any limitations. Just be open to explore!
