“I’ve been collecting instruments and recording unique sounds for more than fifteen years. Sulcata Sound is my official audio repository for this constantly growing, project-driven collection.” – Jason Graves
“Music conveys emotions instantaneously. These instruments are crafted for compositional inspiration. They are designed to tell a story, from the ‘instrument’ itself (a bit of a stretch for many of my more esoteric, found-sound sources) and microphone choice, to the post-processing through specific and often drastic outboard hardware.”
Alongside ‘The Free Series’ of sample libraries from Sulcata Sound, Graves is offering learning resources through Sulcata University, an interactive online musical education program offering free tutorials and exclusive training ranging from small-size class group sessions to one-on-one consultation covering an array of subjects including: Harmony Essentials: Intervals and Scales, Harmony Essentials: Modes and Scales Extensions, Harmony Essentials: Chords & Progressions, Modern Cinematic Scoring, The Art of Cinematic Orchestration, Mixing and Mastering OST Files and more.
