David Hilowitz Cassette + Violin Experiments

A few weeks ago, I was walking down the street in beautiful, sunny Philadelphia when I passed a man with a bicycle cart sitting at a cafe–in his cart was a dusty old four-track recorder. I asked him about it and he said it was mine if I wanted it.

I brought it home, cleaned the tape heads, and promptly fell in love with it. I had been looking for a way to record my violin to tape for a long time, so receiving this recorder felt like a sign. This library is the first of two violin sample libraries I made. Another similar library, which was recorded with a completely different violin and which contains way more experimental patches can be purchased for here.
