Electronic Critters
The Lo-fi Circuit Bending Sample Library
"Other-worldly fx, vocal glitches, manipulations and tawdry bit-crushed riffs, reductions and randomness make up this bumper value sample collection based on circuit-bent children's toys.
Dark soundscapes, atomic crackles, space-gongs, alien choirs and ethereal voxmospherics star in this collection, boasting sounds from re-wired 1980s classic toys, including the legendary Speak&Spell, Major Morgan, Talk'n'Lights, Musical Insects and My Little Talking Computer"
"The sounds contained within [Electronic Critters] knock the pants off many ‘glossy’ libraries"
9 out of 10 : Computer Music Magazine
"Every ounce of the raw material sounds incredibly cool: A toy phone is made to sound like C-3PO swallowed Tweety Bird. A re-wired Furby spouts off incoherent phrases as if scrambled in digital transmission... This brilliant and unique collection also comes at an unbeatable price."

Product Description
Electronic Critters is a sample dvd based on circuit bent childrens toys. This sample dvd was born during the creation of Creature's latest album Distant Horizon. At the start of the albums writing process, creature aka Stephen Haunts from Derby in the UK, spent months circuit bending and sampling childrens toys. Once sampled, the recordings where chopped up and run thorugh numerous effects to create sounds unlike anything you have ever heard before. Stephen enjoyed this process so much, that after Distant Horizon was released, he continued processing these sounds and created even more alien sounding textures. The result is this sample dvd. The package contains:
- Over 750 raw and un-processed circuit bent samples.
- Over 250 sound textures and atmospheres created from the above samples.
- All samples are provided in both 16bit 44khz and 24bit 44khz.
- Electronic Critters contains a free promo album showcasing some of Creatures previous recorded work.
