My sample pack is titled “MARIG0LD”. Most of the tracks in this pack were influenced by new wave and dream pop music, hence the synth heavy sounds.
On “faux”, I took inspiration from New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle”. I played around with Soundtrap’s vocal loops on “ghost”. My recording of conversations on “voices of beachgoers” was inspired by Simon and Garfunkel’s “Voices of Old People”. “Sounds of the great backyard” is a collection of sounds found in my backyard, including crickets chirping, birds singing, leaves rustling, and the whooshing of passing cars and overhead airplanes. On “pitter patter”, I create a drum beat with two remote controllers on top of a coffee table. I incorporated sounds of dripping water on “pool water”.
Give my sample pack a listen! I hope you enjoy it.
