Epic Fireworks
A percussion kit created from the sounds of explosions and whooshes of fireworks
ByMarco Iannello
The story
Hearing the fireworks going off during Guy Fawkes’ Night gave me the idea of recording them and create a sort of percussion kit with those fireworks recordings.
My Zoom H1n proved once again very useful for accomplishing the task at hand, and I recorded quite a few sounds of explosions, whooshes, etc., holding it out of my studio window to capture the explosive mayhem.
The challenge of producing the final samples was coming to terms with the fast tremolo like characteristic of the explosions, some of the samples feature that, and that could be either very irritating or spark creativity!

New and inspirational!
Very interesting!!! Never thought of the firework library. It can be used for many music I think. Wonderful inspiration and ideas!
Freworks!
Very interesting!
Maybe it's a Drum
Wonderful instrument to use. Can't Fault the GUI. I can see myself using this somewhere. It leaves you wanting more though.
