Part of my practice involves creating sample libraries of uncommon sounds and articulations. I find the easiest way into finding the “soul” of any project is through a signature sound that speaks to the essence of an idea, emotion, or subject. Over the years, I’ve amassed a large collection of recordings and in 2025, began releasing some of them to the public under the banner of “Glorified Button Pusher.” These instruments, from the UI designs, to Kontakt and DecentSampler scripting are made by hand and with love.
Free (and paid) releases can be downloaded from Pianobook or Gumroad.
ESSENTIAL SIX
A faithful emulation of the Sequential Circuits Six Trak - one of the first multi-timbral analog synthesizers and an early adopter of MIDI.
Bowed Effigy
An instrument from a lost culture. Not a violin. Not a cello. Something older.
Hears The Rubs
An incredibly rich sampling of friction mallets (aka superball mallets) on a variety of percussion instruments that can generate everything from epic explosions to subtle ambiance.
Festive Celeste
A combo instrument featuring a 5.5 octave, brand new Schiedmayer celeste (celesta) and a set of Adams orchestral chimes! Multi-mic'd for a ton of tone flexibility.
BLACK BOX
What's in the Box?! Let go of control and open Black Box, a mysterious instrument with over 33 sound sources from synths to violas and a totally randomized FX chain.
Drop BOws on Em
A 5-layer, bowed percussion ensemble capable of everything from percussion and synth emulation, to eerie textures and ambiance.
Tonewoods: Marimba & Xylo
A prepared marimba and a regular xylophone with dynamic modulation between soft and hard mallets for easily adapting to any orchestral setting.
