The story
Near my cottage, they’ve stacked up some old bricks. It’s not really clear what the point is, and they’ve been stacked up there for months now. They seem like they had no purpose. I thought I’d try and give them a bit of one: they made a nice brick-y sound when I bashed them together, so I recorded the sound and I’ve built it into a Kontakt instrument.
It pretty simple – it’s just the sound of bricks straight up. Play the bottom of the keyboard to get big giant size blockos, and the top to get little lego-brick sized ones. There are multiple velocities and round-robin alternates and a few more controls on the interface.

ROCK SOLID
I was at a recording session here in Nashville a few years ago and we had equipment all over the floor of the Studio and cables running everywhere and instruments all over the place. I asked the Producer if he thought that we could actually make Music with all this expensive stuff ? He said, David, we could make Music with Rocks and Sticks if we had to.
Well, BRICKS really makes that Producers statement ring true. It's a wonderful idea for a Musical Instrument with a unique combination of Tonal and Percussive elements.
Shout Out "THANK YOU" to mfb for all your hard work and for sharing this instrument with us !!!
BRICKS IS ROCK SOLID
