The Vagabond Crystal sample library was created to use the sounds of bells, glass and metal objects. Various objects and
samples were used: a singing bowl, Tibetan bells, a small gong, wine glasses, a lid for dishes, water, stones, a synthesizer, as well as hardware and software
effectors. The idea was to pay homage to crystalline, brilliant sounds, soundscapes and… caves. Yes, these sounds, their long delays and
brilliance, instantly conjure up images of caves and descent into their eerie depths in my mind.
I wander through their stone halls, corridors and galleries and marvel at the silent beauty of Mother Nature’s work of art. Stalagmites and
stalactites, like statues, guard the returning echo of water droplets flowing from damp, cold walls and ceilings. The underground river carries
me away from the surface. Time freezes in the dark, the eyes do not see. The imagination comes alive. I become a crystal that
wanders in the dark like a homeless vagrant.
