Two electric guitars – played and processed totally differently – immediately carry you to a modern world of sound. Opening the whole spectrum: From delicate designed to rich and cinematic patches, it serves the sonority and flexibility, which made the guitar one of the most formative instruments of our time.

For this very special Origins, Sonuscore collaborated with the famous composer Mats Lundgren (Just Cause 2, Mad Max [Videogame], Generation Zero) from Pole Position Production. Mats recorded the guitars and processed them with his extraordinary precision.

Powered by Mats’ incredible experience in working with electronic sounds and merged by our successful MAD engine, we proudly present:

Origins VOL. 6: MUTED GUITAR & HARMONICS

In collaboration with Mats Lundgren  

THE INSTRUMENTS

Electric Guitar Muted

2006 Fender Stratocaster American Deluxe Stratocaster with Samarium Cobalt pickups

The muted guitar provides a very calm, but rich sound. It gives an incredible warm intonation overall when used as the base of a harmonic structure. With the Multi-Arpeggio-Designer [MAD] you can give the instrument a characteristic, modern, sometimes futuristic feel. Paired with the Harmonics, you achieve a very balanced and wide sound, right on the modern pulse of time.

Electric Guitar Harmonics

2003 Gibson SG with Seymour Duncan Phat Cat Pickups

With its shimmering, floating sound, the Harmonics are the perfect addition to the Palm Mutes. Create lively ambient pads or run impressive modern-sounding arpeggios with it: The possibilities are endless and usually just one preset away.

“I have used sampling of original instruments and other sound sources as a core method for my own compositional process for many years, so I was really happy to be invited to create an instrument for Sonuscore’s ORIGINS. I decided that I wanted to combine the esoteric, dreamy quality of the guitar harmonics with the more direct sound of the muted guitar. The combination makes for both good and fresh sounding arpeggios and ORIGINS VOL. 6 is already an often-used addition to my personal sound palette.”
