RECORDING ARTIST / CREATIVE COLLABORATOR
We are looking for creative artists from around the world who can create new, fresh-sounding sample-based instruments for us using their own gear. The candidates must be capable of recording these instruments chromatically by velocities with their own equipment.
OUR BACKGROUND
KaranyiSounds is a boutique audio plugin company – we are crafting exceptional quality sample collections in Kontakt format, focusing on film and video game scoring. We believe that sampling is an art form: our goal is to create sonically rich, detailed, and characteristic instruments like (or sometimes unlike) the original sound sources. We carefully select these sound sources while we also set up custom analog recording paths and rare combinations of effect chains to create unique, playable instruments. Unconventional recording techniques and sound design are as important parts of modern music production as melodies and orchestration – so we are focusing on moods and characters as well as the sound sources themselves.
