ASPIRE: Modern Mallets

Modern Mallets

Combining deeply-sampled marimba and vibes with Heaworld-class sound design, the emotional hybrid textures these instruments are capable of have finally been realized.

A striking cinematic experience, ASPIRE showcases the innately flexible range of deeply-sampled marimba and vibes sources – from the dark ambience of bowed and processed performances to the percussive movement of the traditionally struck.

ASPIRE embodies the Heavyocity mission – this time transforming tuned percussion into the realm of hybrid scoring. ASPIRE is Heavyocity’s take on cinematic tuned percussion.
