AudioThing has released Environments: Temple of Mercury – a new Kontact sound library that features sound gestures from a corrugated plastic pipe and the impulse response of the Temple of Mercury, a wide caldera situated in the west of Naples (Italy).
The Temple is also known as “The Echo Temple” for its several acoustic reflections caused by a dome vault and water on the floor.
The sampled instrument produces flute, horn, efxs, impulsive sounds, and, with a little electroacoustic modification, feedback sounds; all sounds are playable with or without the convolution of the Temple.
