AV-Ylänne has released Finnish Forest Percussion, available as a FREE download. Donations are welcomed.
Finnish Forest Percussion is a collection of organic percussion sounds, recorded in the Finnish forest from wood and stone.
The idea for this instrument began in 2025, when I visited an exhibition where I had the chance to try out a few percussion instruments made from wood and stone. That experience sparked an idea to create a virtual instrument built around the sounds of wood and stone.
In the summer of 2026, I was heading to my summer cottage and decided to bring my field recorder with me to capture some sounds from nature. I also decided that it was finally time to turn the idea of my instrument into reality.
I spent time wandering through the forest, looking for interesting sounds. Whenever I found something that caught my attention, I recorded it. I didn’t have a clear plan for what kind of sounds I was looking for. It was more of an exploration, following my curiosity and seeing what I could discover.
Finnish Forest Percussion requires Decent Sampler (desktop or iOS).
