Galbanum's Abstraction Sample Line is a downloadable series of ultramodern samples, loops, hits, and construction kits provided in industry standard formats including Apple Loops, Acid Loops, REX2, AIFF, and WAV. Abstraction 02 focuses on edgy electronic loop adders, glitched-out synthetic drum phrases, abstract rhythmic freak-outs, deep and techy percussion hits, fresh momentum builders, and peak-hour floor-filling groove elements.

Abstraction 02 content is suitable for: Tech House • Electro House • Minimal Techno • Minimal House • Minimal Trance • Progressive House • Deep House • Progressive Trance • DnB and Breaks • Ambient and Chill Out • Glitch Hop • Trip Hop • Electronica and IDM • Left Field • Abstract Rock • Film and Game Scoring • Sound FX • and any other cross-genre music style that successfully borrows from these influences

• All loops are provided without standard embedded kick/snare/high-hat patterns. This makes the loops much more usable in various genres of dance music where the producer is free to mix and arrange them with his own favorite samples.

• All samples are made in stereo and make use of extreme spatial processing techniques at the sample level to produce sounds that literally jump out of the speakers. This produces loops which are very active spatially while keeping perfect silence in-between hits when desired. The result is loops that can cut and punch through even dense mixes without taking up huge amounts of mix space.

• All loops are provided without additional auxiliary reverb or delay effects. This keeps the loops pristinely clean and sharp, enables easy custom slicing and editing, and allows send effects to be added as needed at the mix stage by the producer to perfectly suite the needs of the given project. The result is more flexibility and better coherence between the loops and the other elements of the project.

Electronic musicians, artists, producers, DJs, scoring professionals, multi-media developers, and synthesis/sound-design enthusiasts of all experience levels who are looking for an easy way to escape the sonic banality of the overpopulated "me-too" market and embrace the unexpected will find this collection an invaluable coup de theatre. Anyone looking for a new way to tip the balance between musical predictability and surprise will find it here in this treasure chest of perturbations, anomalies, and sonic eccentricities.

Modern electronic and urban music production is highly dependent on technical sound-design elements to infuse novelty and uniqueness into the music of today and tomorrow. Modish sound-design elements define style and are what makes a given project in-the-now. A posh groove and a stupendous shock-and-awe campaign of information-age sonic non-conformities are prerequisite to success in today's market. The Abstraction Sample Line is designed to advance these bleeding-edge sound-design elements and make them effortlessly accessible without requiring a PhD in rocket science or esoteric digital signal processing.

Galbanum's Abstraction Sample Series leverages the power of its own Architecture line of sound-design tools as well as proprietary DSP tools, unreleased low level mathematical resources, and computer music scripting languages to contribute a level of detail and precision to the final product that was previously impossible. These resources are fed into advanced sound-design suites, such as MetaSynth where all the heavy lifting and esoteric magic happens. Finally, the content undergoes post processing and mastering and is tightly integrated into the various supported standards. The end result is plug-and-play bliss for the user who now has instant access to the bleeding edge without the blood, sweat, and tears normally associated with it.
