GOT BEEFHEART? NY NOWAVE prepared guitar

A sample pack that captures the angular and wild guitar sounds of experimental post-punk bands of the NO WAVE New York scene.

The story

I bought this guitar in a second-hand shop in Italy in the early 2000’s.
At that point I had just discovered Sonic Youth, Captain Beefheart and all the experimental post-punk scene records.
I formed a band where we would just improvise and jam with ‘prepared’ instruments and basically make noise.
This pack is my attempt to capture those angular and wild guitar sounds, and I hope it will inspire other musicians to venture in free form improvisation and experimental music.

  • great!!

    Maybe a bit niche for people who use Kontakt...but really hit the spot for me.@ Would be nice with some less distorted tones as well....so distortion and treatment could be added later:) But whats here is great. Well done!!
