Into the Forest
Create music with the sounds of the forest
ByGiovanni Cavazza
The story
This Summer I was on holiday in the Italian Alps and my love for the mountains one day convinced me to go for a walk in a forest and when I was there I sat down listening to the sound of the trees. That moment I thought I really wanted to collect sounds from that environment, picked up my phone and started to record sounds.
Since Pianobook exists I always wanted to contribute and when I came back to my home I opened Logic and started cleaning the sounds I recorded and creating instruments. Some days ago I found my old folders with those samples and finally decided to publish them. Those are mostly percussive sounds and I found them great to create sound environments with some effects or to make interesting and new rhythmic patterns.

A lot of Potential but no round robins
I think Round Robins would have greatly benefited this pack. The sounds themselves are very bare and dry which leaves you alot of room to process. They remind me a bit of foley drums Helios might use. If you dont know his music check it out, you'll be glad you did. This is a really nice idea for a sample pack that i would use alot as I'm really into nature sounds. I really wish there were round robins and dynamic layers, this would definitely be a go to for me.
nice percussion sounds, hopefully a start to something bigger?
I love the concept of this, and there's no such thing as too much percussion samples. I think there's a lot of great power in sounds that the listener can't identify, and that's where this small pack shines.
Its only weakness is simply the small amount of content here. A forest-themed library that expands on this in the future would be amazing, BUT what we have here is lovely on its own terms. Thanks Giovanni :)
