Description : Collection of various instruments
Terra Incognita is by far Marcos Ciscar ‘s most ambitious sample library, with over 75 instruments and sound sources and years of painstaking work. Here you’ll be immersed in a unique world where rare and traditional instruments meet a pre-Hispanic flavor inspired by ancient civilizations and tropical forests. Native American flutes, ethnic instruments, stones, drums, human voices, atmospheric synths and ethereal sounds are complemented by the natural sounds of French Guiana, Costa Rica and Europe.
Many of the instruments featured are rare, handcrafted and have rarely been sampled before.
Terra Incognita mostly contains exclusive samples, but for the sake of completeness, some sounds from other, including discontinued Marcos Ciscar products, have been added . These can be entire instruments or individual samples that served as the basis for completely new sounds. Here they are presented in a form adapted to the Terra Incognita aesthetic .
Terra Incognita is, first of all, a sound world that I created.
Initially, the process was unconscious – I was collecting and sampling sounds that I liked. Then this grew into working on an album and developing a sample library – a collection of sounds that I plan to expand and develop in the future.
Both projects complement each other: some sounds were recorded with both directions in mind, others were taken from the album and reworked into samples, and some were originally created as samples and then used on the album.
