Straight Ahead! Free Jazz Drums is a fun freebie featuring some incredible playing by free jazz drummer extraordinaire, Scott Clark (performed and/or recorded with Scott Clark 4tet, SCUO, Glows In the Dark, Jeb Bishop, Jason Ajemian, Darius Jones, Josh Berman, Jason Stein).
“He has this really interesting way of swinging…it sometimes morphs into rock-ish straight eighths or fractures into free improv freakouts. But it always feels totally in control; I sense that his ride cymbal will never let you down. It feels personal to him, and I like that.”– NPR, a blog Supreme

Stoq is a physical model for synthesizing continuous shaker and rattle timbres. The signal path, inspired by Perry Cook’s PhiSEM synthesis, routes a stochastically generated impulse series to five resonant bandpass filters running in parallel. The envelope and LFO are assigned to multiple destinations to animate patches.
Four key-groups are provided for creating performance articulations. The approximate pitch of the signal can also be set to follow the keyboard for tuned synthesis.
Presets include tambourine, brushed snare, jingle bells, and non-instrumental sounds like footsteps and chewing.
