Sticks N' Stones

Spring has sprung in the Western Hemisphere and we’re back outside capturing nature’s unfoldings as the temperatures rise once again. The Splice Originals team captured an extensive set of percussive nature sounds made with sticks and stones we found along a trail in rural Tennessee. Then we mined the archives for previously unheard field recordings from the forests and seasides of Northern California.

To complement these sounds, we crafted a set of Astra presets, Beatmaker patches, and melodic loops using electric guitar, a Wurlitzer, and a electric piano to inspire all of your late spring musings and sonic adventures. The result is a collection of spring field recordings mixed with modern sound design to offer you a truly unique bouquet of samples for your next production.

Beatmaker is a sequencer plugin that works with any DAW and allows you to create beats without the need for complex drum programming. Astra is Splice’s new, versatile software synthesizer and sound design tool that enables you to come up with a wide range of unique tones as quickly and intuitively as possible.
