Frollen Music Library (FML) proudly unveils their latest offering, "Petal" - a mesmerising journey that explores the interplay between Nylon String Guitar and Kalimba. This release marks a significant departure for FML, showcasing their most stripped-back arrangements to date.
"Petal" is a testament to the power of simplicity and space in music. The FML house band masterfully weaves together floating Kalimba melodies with gentle, articulate guitar flutters, creating a soundscape that is both dreamy and intimate. Limited to a Kalimba tuned to a C-Major scale and a Nylon guitar, the musicians embrace repetition and minimalism, guiding listeners through ethereal landscapes and moments of quiet introspection.
Spanning 15 tracks, "Petal" charts new territory for the library. The sparse, percussive Kalimba melodies accent the compositions, offering a unique timbre that complements the guitar's warm tones. This carefully crafted balance leaves ample room for creativity, making it an ideal resource for sample makers, MCs, and beat-makers alike.
Each composition is BPM and key-labeled, performed, and recorded on real instruments, ensuring seamless integration into your next production. FML’s sounds are meticulously captured using Langevin and Flickenger-style preamps and vintage microphones, guaranteeing pristine audio quality.
