Cycling '74 has announced the release of Sustained Encounters, the first volume in their Cycles series of audio source libraries. Created by Ron MacLeod, Sustained Encounters, consists of long evolving environments and unfolding atmospheres. Culled from MacLeod's private reserve, an accumulation of years of film sound design and sonic exploration, this first release in the Cycles series presents a collection of surreal stylings that will add a cinematic feel to any production. Cycling '74 has tapped sound library pioneer Ron MacLeod, creator of the award winning 'Poke in the Ear' libraries, to produce and curate the Cycles series. With this new series, MacLeod expands upon his previous work by producing a continuing series of 'inspirational' sonic collections, while using Cycling '74's innovative processing tools--Max/MSP, Pluggo and Radial. Cycles complements Cycling '74's creative and unique software and music releases with libraries of sound effects, ambient sound, rhythmic loops and incidental music for use by musicians, sound designers and media producers. Sustained Encounters' 24bit/48kHz .wav files are prepared for ease of use in Film, DV and multimedia productions, and 44.1kHz versions are included for direct compatibility with music composition tools. This release also includes a sampling of 5.1 Multi-channel pieces. Sustained Encounters is packaged as a dual-disc release created with the audio post-professional in mind--a high capacity DVD-ROM, along with a standard audio CD for an easy auditioning alternative. The files are seamlessly looped end to end for laying down beds imported directly to DAW, playback in loop sequencers (such as Live, Acid and Cycling '74's Radial software) or manipulation by any sampler, vintage to virtual. Sustained Encounters is now available from Cycling '74 for MSRP US$99.00. For more information, visit their web site at www.cycling74.com. |
