01Overview

FIELD RECORDING: Floatation is a Kontakt instrument from KLANG that turns everyday environmental sounds into playable material. KLANG describes the concept as listening closely to the world around us and placing familiar sounds in a new context. The instrument combines two sources captured with a field recorder, one a frozen minor chord and the other a deep resonating drone, to create a flowing, moving sound.

Sound Sources and Character

The instrument is built from two distinct recordings. The first is a frozen minor chord, which gives the sound a sustained harmonic core. The second is a deep resonating drone, which adds low-end body and a sense of continuous movement.

KLANG says the source material grew out of ordinary objects and situations, including kitchen utensils, electrical appliances and the sound of a train ride. That origin gives the textures a recorded, organic quality rather than a purely synthetic one.

Using Floatation in Kontakt

Floatation loads as a Kontakt instrument, so it runs inside the full version of Kontakt rather than as a standalone plugin. Because the instrument is built around two sources, you can layer its drone and frozen chord to shape sustained, evolving pads and atmospheres.

The free Kontakt Player will not run it. Make sure you have the full Kontakt version before purchasing or loading the instrument.
