RELEASES
Silence and the Unwinking Minds is an ambient electronic music project and the first solo work by Derek Pearson. Derek’s extensive background in music spans nearly two decades. As a founding member of both Umbrella Tree and Porcelain Teeth, he is seasoned in a variety of genres and production roles. His prior work has been featured in performance art exhibitions and film scores. Prominently composed with his modular synth, a sampler, and a tape machine, Derek's music explores the tension between lush ambience and gritty textures, combining for moments of unexpected beauty.
This sample pack is comprised of sixteen drum samples recorded off of the internal drum machine of the Yamaha CN-70 electric organ. Every sample was recorded mono straight to tape using the Marantz PMD 222. The samples were recorded at a variety of speeds, adding further colour and texture to the character of each sample.
