Carpe Ductum ! - (Seize the tape !)
Good afternoon Fairlight fans!!
Whilst the two Peters (and other
members of the Fairlight Family) work furiously to get the first 30A's completed
and ready for sale, I have been commissioned to start work around a number of
side projects to compliment and enhance the 30A user experience as well as
document the history of the CMI.
One of the jobs I am currently working
on is collating a history on all the iconic and memorable sounds from the
Fairlight factory libraries found in the Series II and III. To this end, I am
asking the community to share with me their favourite and best known uses of the
contents of the factory library with me for consideration and possible inclusion
into this documented history.
So, for example, the Pwang sample used so
evocatively in Peter Gabriel's song "San Jacinto". Tell me the name of the
sample and the track and artist that you remember it from. Even the ubiquitous
Orch5 needs documenting so don't be afraid to tell us about the places you have
heard it, because we might have missed them ourselves.
So that we don't
clog the message board up, could you email me your contributions to rob.puricelli@fairlightinstruments.com.au
using the subject header of "Fairlight Library Sounds History". This way, I can
easily collate your responses and give credit where it is due.
I'm
looking forward to receiving your mails and appreciate your assistance which
will greatly contribute to the overall project.
Kind Regards,
Rob
