🎧 “Testimony”（见证）是一款采样包，聚焦于福音音乐从 70 年代到 90 年代初这一小段 sonic journey（声音旅程）。福音音乐的布鲁斯和灵魂根源始终是其音乐基石，常用乐器包括鼓、贝斯、吉他、钢琴和风琴；但到了 70 年代末并延续至 80 年代，跨流派的音乐家们开始尝试加入合成器音色。福音音乐人历来是全球最具技巧与开创性的群体之一。同时，福音歌手的嗓音一直是流行音乐中情感与灵魂表达的标杆。标志性的 Clark Sisters（克拉克姐妹组合）便是跨越时代的先锋代表，其影响力早已超越福音圈本身。从他们登顶榜单的经典曲目《You Brought the Sunshine》（你带来了阳光），到被 Jay-Z 在《Family Feud》（家庭纠纷）中采样，其影响力与影响毋庸置疑。

“Testimony” is a sample pack that highlights a small part of the sonic journey of gospel from the 70s to the early 90’s. Gospel’s blues and soul roots always hold a foundation within the music with the common instruments usually being drums, bass, guitar, piano and organ but near the end of the 70’s and into the 80’s so many instrumentalists across genres started experimenting with including synthesizer instruments. Gospel musicians have always been among the most skilled and pioneering in the world. Simultaneously the voices of gospel singers have stood as the standard for heart and soul expression in popular music. The iconic Clark Sisters were a group that embodied this pioneering sound across eras that had such an impact well outside the gospel community. From their chart topping classic “You Brought the Sunshine,” to being sampled on Jay-Z’s “Family Feud,” the influence and impact is undeniable.
This release features the innovative sounds of gospel’s experimentation with instrumentation and a predominantly female ensemble inspired by the likes of the Clark Sisters. In this pack you will have access to over half a gig of sound. Select from 15 melodic loops varying in texture and composition all filled with loads of individual loop stems featuring a stacked female ensemble vocal style perfect for sampling. We were intentional about offering diverse authentic moments from the genre and style, add these sounds to your library and create your own special musical moments!
