Whoever said loop and sample usage was a no-brainer should probably be locked in an isolation chamber. While most construction kits can be easily churn out hits, does that necessarily spell intelligence? If your just using those borrowed run-off-the-mill cliché sounds for your various purposes, you probably are not using too much creativity after all and will eventually bore you to death. Besides, that creative spark is best exercised with using all the stuff you find at home and making it work great. Following up on the success of Abstraction 03, Galbanum Abstraction 04: Found Sound Intelligence gives you an exercise in thinking with its 1040 cutting edge files.

To think and create in an abstract manner is among one of the higher forms of cognitive functions man has, and Abstraction 04 has all the domestic found sounds you require to express just that. This eccentric collection of glitch rhythms, real-world found sound samples, synths, analog snare and kicks, and ethnic African instrumentation will definitely put you to work as you experiment on creating that thinking man's hip hop in the context of urban futurism that you've been pondering on for so long. All of these loops have been produced at a native tempo of 106 BPM and can be stretched effortlessly into tempos such as 90 to 120 BPM and beyond. Why should stretched timbres worry you anyway? The point is to think about your music in the most abstract manner possible while making feet and bodies groove on to those beats. After all, this collection cab fit all tempo ranges used in current urban and down-tempo break music sub-genres.
