An exclusive selection of her instruments, sampled in detail and with custom scripts, effects, and tools; all designed the way she wanted to use them. Box Of Tricks has already been beta-tested in Imogens live performances and studio projects: a process that helped generate ideas and refine the instruments. From an initial idea about a free Heap instrument, to the final result, 3 years later; Box Of Tricks is a truly extraordinary collaboration. STRUM VELOCITY TRIGGER + KEYSPLIT MODE HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN, REVERSE Imogen's most famous instrument, her 5-octave Array Mbira. Imogen wanted to be able to play this as you would in real life, with 2 sets of notes mirrored for right and left hand. We also developed for her a strum device that strums as many notes as you choose, over any chosen key velocity. Box Of Tricks 2: Boom Whackers Boomwhack-lg.jpg A set of tuned plastic percussion tubes. Imogen plays them with either wooden or carpet covered paddles, so both are sampled here. WOOD OR CARPET PADDLE KEYSWITCH HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER TRANSIENT SMOOTHER, SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 3: Cello Cello-lg.jpg Not your usual Cello samples - Imogen's favourite cello techniques, performed by her for specially the recording. The bowing is very soft and quiet, almost breaking up, while the Slide articulation is a kaleidoscope of harmonics. Pizzicato plucks (+ reverse option) complete the set. At Imogens request, the level can be continuously modulated with its own fader for realistic expression. PIZZ, BOW, SLIDE, REVERSE KEYSWITCHES HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER NATURAL LEVEL MODULATION, SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN Box Of Tricks 4: Cocktail Kit With Nibbles Cocktailkit-lg.jpg A tight jazz kit and selected percussion. Detailed velocity layers (up to 64) make this kit very expressive and dynamic. CLOSE + ROOM MICS, STICKS, BRUSHES, MALLETS HEAPJAMMER, EUCLIDEAN BEAT GENERATOR FOCUS MODE, MULTI FILTERS, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 5: Glockenspiel glock-lg.jpg Used by Imogen across all her work, the glockenspiel is sampled in detail here, allowing you to get "lost in twinkly sounds" 11 VELOCITY LAYERS, 3 ROUND ROBINS HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 6: Marxophone Marxophone-lg.jpg A treasured Marxophone, a kind of fretless zither with which you can either hammer or strum a set of chord strings. Both techniques are replicated in the Box Of Tricks instrument STRUM, CHORD KEYSPLIT MODE BOUNCE FUNCTION, HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER KEY-OFF, SLIM, AUTO-PAN Box Of Tricks 7: Shruti Box shruti-lg.jpg A gift from Imogens mother. A charming instrument, full of expression. In the Box Of Tricks collection it is modelled spectrally, enabling the user to control the amount and drift of the pressure applied to the instrument. It also functions as a neat synth, making cool sawtooth pads and basses. SPECTRAL MODEL WITH PRESSURE + DRIFT. HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN Box Of Tricks 8: Tongue Drum tongue-lg.jpg An atmospheric steel percussion instrument which is the perfect partner for the HeapJammer and the custom reverb IRs. 10 VELOCITY + 3 ROUND ROBIN LAYERS HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 9: Vibraphone vibe-lg.jpg Another unconventional take on a well-known instrument: Vibraphone delicately played with fingernails rather than mallets, and also bowed for haunting pad-like sounds. FINGERNAILS & BOWED ARTICULATIONS FAN CONTROL, HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 10: Vocal Pad voxpad-lg.jpg A full range of vocal notes performed by Imogen. A spectrally processed channel - GHOST - can be blended with the dry vocal, as can a reversed sample set. 'PAD-MODE' switches between the natural, breathy attack or a tighter trimmed start for synth-like choirs. DRY, GHOST,+ REV CHANNELS HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 11: Vocal & Body Percussion bodyperc-lg.jpg The result of a unique recording session with Soniccouture in which Imogen created percussive sounds from her voice and body - slaps, clicks, hums, kisses - and also from favourite objects in her studio, such as a large lamp and an ocarina. An incredibly creative set of sounds that can be played as a drum kit, or set into focus mode to create completely tuned patches to play. FOCUS MODE / DRUM KIT MODE HEAPJAMMER, EUCLIDEAN BEAT GENERATOR PITCH EG, MULTI FILTER, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 12: Waterphone waterphone-lg.jpg A big Heap favourite, this instrument is based around an incredible studio waterphone performance by Imogen - bowing, striking, coaxing a dazzling array of sounds in one long take. Using Soniccouture's FOCUS mode, hundreds of waterphone patches are instantly available to the user at the click of a button. FOCUS MODE HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER FILTER + PITCH EGS, MULTI FILTER, REVERSE Box Of Tricks 13: Whirly Tubes whirly-lg.jpg One of Imogen's first ideas for the Box Of Tricks project was to sample her set of tuned 'Whirly' tubes - plastic piping that are swung around the head, producing a note and extra harmonics if swung faster. A real challenge to record, this instrument is possibly the most unusual and haunting in the whole collection. CUSTOM HARMONIC CONTROL HEAPJAMMER, HARMONISER SLIM, MULTI FILTER, AUTO-PAN, REVERSE JAMMER 2.0 The latest evolution of our generative arpeggiator, with new ideas from Imogen. Hold a chord, and let it evolve - or loop a section and jam between 12 sequences. Record your patterns with the MIDI recorder, and drag and drop into your DAW. RECORDING BOX OF TRICKS cello-recording.jpg Imogen recording the Cello samples in the studio. An unconventional set of techniques, including slides to generate swirling harmonics, and incredibly soft bowing that allows the natural sound of the cello to break up and unravel. cocktailkit.jpg Imogens Cocktail Kit. One of the surprise hits in the collection, this has a nice, tight sound. Recorded with sticks, brushes and mallets this is a hugely flexible and dynamic kit. Also features congas, bells and additional percussion from around her studio. mic.jpg Imogen's favourite Neumann TLM mics were used throughout the instrument sampling, as well as her personal Avalon pre-amp. mbira-recording.jpg Recording the Array Mbira: note the lyric sheets in place under the tines. mbira-lyrics.jpg Mbira lyric sheets close up. recording-waterphone.jpg The waterphone instrument is based around one long performance by Imogen marxophone.jpg The marxophone in situ in the studio. vibe-recording.jpg Recording vibraphone: fingernails and bows were the preferred methods. vibe-studio.jpg The vibraphone at home in Imogens studio. whirly-recording.jpg Recording the Whirly tubes: mics were placed through 360 degrees, to avoid dead spots. whirly.jpg The Whirly tubes in detail - each is labelled with it's note(s) shruti.jpg The Shruti box. Glock2.jpg The Glockenspiel, provider of Twinkly bits. tongue-drum.jpg The Tongue drum in Imogens studio. voxkit-1.jpg Vocal & Body Percussion Recording Session. voxkit-2.jpg Vocal & Body Percussion Recording Session. voxkit-3.jpg Vocal & Body Percussion Recording Session. voxkit-4.jpg Vocal & Body Percussion Recording Session -creating a flappy kick sound from the studio lamp.
