PREPARED UDU

Using seeds, stones, cloth, mallets, brushes, rattlers, shakers and other clay and wood objects, a unique set of ‘prepared udu’ samples was recorded.

The resulting sounds include fresh organic percussions, earthly and raw textures, and captivating tonal sounds. 

The samples are programmed into a Kontakt percussion kit that is super creative and very inspiring: it’s fun to play rhythms with unheard acoustic sounds that are so raw and natural.
