Macro Moments: A Textured Journey Through Everyday Fabrics by Jade Ann Byrne

Macro Moments: A Textured Journey Through Everyday Fabrics By Jade Ann Byrne Art can be found in the simplest of textures and the most overlooked corners of our lives. With the precision of an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a keen artistic eye, I’ve explored the hidden worlds of color, weave, and texture in items we wear, use, and live with daily. Each of these macro photographs represents a story, a…

Native Instruments – Una Corda: A Distinctive Piano Experience

Product Details: A DISTINCTIVE, PURE PIANO

Explore the evocative tones of Native Instruments – Una Corda, a handcrafted upright piano that redefines the possibilities of musical expression. With a full range of sound characters – from soft and resonant to percussive and textural – this instrument offers unparalleled creativity and realism. Meticulously sampled, Una Corda delivers everything from intimate realism to lush, resonant overtones, making it an essential addition to your sound library.

Introducing UNA CORDA

Delicate and Different

Una Corda faithfully captures the signature sound of a unique, custom-made piano designed by David Klavins in collaboration with composer Nils Frahm. Unlike traditional pianos, Una Corda features one string per key, resulting in an exquisite tone that’s ideal for film scoring, electronic music, pop, or jazz. Whether you’re crafting serene melodies or creating experimental textures, Una Corda’s distinctive sound will captivate your audience.

Three Sources of Creativity

Una Corda offers three distinct sound banks, each designed to inspire:

Pure: Captures the resonant sound of a single string struck by the hammer, offering clarity and richness.

Felt: Introduces felt material between hammers and strings, reducing attack noise and delivering a gentle, smooth sound reminiscent of an unplugged vintage electric piano.

Cotton: Adds a noisier, percussive attack with more pronounced overtones, ideal for creating unique sonic textures.

Each sound bank provides a starting point for shaping your creative vision.

Enhanced Sound Design

Take your sound further with Una Corda’s advanced sound design capabilities. Add texture by incorporating:

Noise from fabric preparations

Mechanical sounds and pedal actions

Room ambiance

Enhance realism or venture into experimental territory by integrating vintage outboard gear effects like hiss, compression, and saturation. From dry, gritty tones to liquid pads and swirling soundscapes, Una Corda adapts to your creative needs.

Adjust Your Tone Easily

Una Corda’s intuitive interface puts full control of the instrument at your fingertips:

Sound Banks: Choose from Pure, Felt, or Cotton.

Workbench: Sculpt core characteristics, from dynamics to overtones.

Response Section: Adjust tonal dynamics and add resonant overtones.

Finish Section: Apply vintage effect chains, reverbs, and other tools to refine your sound.

Effortlessly transform a pure piano into a noisy, percussive instrument or an ambient soundscape with these powerful tools.

Made for KOMPLETE KONTROL

Designed for seamless integration, Una Corda is fully compatible with Native Instruments’ KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboards. Experience the ultimate performance with the KOMPLETE KONTROL S88, featuring fully weighted hammer-action keys for an authentic piano feel.

HERE, NOW (because if coquina were gold, we’d be rich)

my neighbors and i share starfruit and a tense romance with the sunburnt tourists who bring security and a feeling of invasion. a red sun emerges against the buzz of i95 and i’m following the quick shadow of a breeze making its way through bright bright heat, trying to catch a touch of camaraderie before the traffic chases it away. the stucco speckled with neon green algae, soft, thick and slimy like the air. i wonder if it’s ever been this hot before.
