Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is a software interface that integrates software audio synthesizer and effect plugins with
audio editors and hard-disk recording systems. VST and similar technologies use digital signal processing to simulate
traditional recording studio hardware in software. Thousands of plugins exist, both commercial and freeware, and a large
number of audio applications support VST under license from its creator, Steinberg.
Vessels is an exploration of object resonance and sonic materiality.
An expansive collection of extensively sampled analog and digital synthesisers are recontextualised through contemporary and experimental re-amping techniques.
Precisely captured at the revered Holy Mountain studios in Hackney, Vessels transcends traditional synthesis - adding colour, dimension and physicality to the source material.
The resulting recordings form a palette of raw, textured synth tones - imbued with the character and depth of the Vessels they were born from.
Vessels’ presets are grouped into 3 Banks
Convergent
The Convergent Bank comprises 220 sound-designed presets forged from material resonance exploration.
Using surface transducers to vibrate and drive metallic objects, the objects themselves become a new sound source - creating abstract, elemental deviations from the original synth recordings.
Combine Oil Drum and Thunder Sheet resonances with the original synth material to generate tonal and spatial variances, often resulting in unwieldy, harmonic disturbances.
An additional Thundersheet layer was captured using a Lom Geofón - a sensitive omnidirectional contact microphone designed initially for seismic measurements. With a frequency response as low as 10Hz, the Geofón layer adds depth and power to the Convergent Bank.
Divergent
The Divergent Bank contains 220 presets that utilise more traditional re-amping techniques.
Synth samples were sent through two 180-watt cabinets (in stereo), which placed the source material within a physical environment and added width and colour.
Blend different mic feeds and outboard chains with the original recordings to create unique and unfamiliar synth tones that allow for extensive, nuanced control before any effects are applied.
Captured with a pair of exquisite Sanken CU-41s, its wide response produces flawless fidelity and maintains the weight and detail of the source material.
A pair of SM-57s were also used, offering a bright, more characterful alternative to the Sankens.
The original synth samples and the Sanken and SM57 mic feeds were also sent through the External Signal Processor of a Korg MS-20, overdriving an already-slammed signal to create uncontrolled, destructive results.
Relics
The Relics Bank contains 20 presets that create an alternate sound world of warmth and nostalgia.
The source material has been re-recorded onto 1/4" tape and cassette before being sent through boutique effects pedals to form saturated, gritty textures, expanding Vessels' palette beyond the original material.
The Relics remain untouched primarily to preserve the patina generated by the process. Noise and warm distortion from the breaking signal transform the sounds into something more organic and human.

" Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life. "
