A pad built from a neon lamp's buzz
KLANG's starting point was the sonorous buzz of a neon lamp. The developer recorded the hum in a basement, then applied a filter and editing before layering it with other sounds. The source material gives the pad a mechanical, electrical texture that a standard oscillator does not produce.
Because the sound originates from a real recording, it carries small irregularities and tonal color that sit well beneath vocals, chords and melodic parts. Producers looking for atmosphere or a slightly gritty undertone can use it as a foundation layer.
