Product Overview

World Percussion – Oddities is an experimental percussion instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt, recorded using real-world objects and re-amped at a world-class scoring stage.

Performed by Angela Grima, the library explores unconventional sound sources including household appliances, toilets, baths, kitchen sinks, and other found objects used as percussion instruments. These performances were re-amped and recorded in the same scoring stage as the rest of the World Percussion Series, giving the sounds weight, depth, and cinematic scale.

Found Objects, Real Performance

World Percussion – Oddities captures the physical impact and character of everyday objects played as percussion. The focus is on hands-on performance, natural dynamics, and the unpredictable textures that emerge when non-traditional instruments are played rhythmically.

Performance and Dynamics

World Percussion – Oddities uses a traditional sampling approach centered on real performance and dynamic response. Each object is captured through a variety of strikes, impacts, and playing styles, preserving natural variation and raw character during play.

Instrument Collection

The library includes a selection of unconventional percussion sources, such as:

  • Household appliances
  • Toilets
  • Baths
  • Kitchen sinks
  • Assorted found objects

Each source is treated as a playable percussion instrument, sampled to retain its unique tone, resonance, and response.

Workflow

World Percussion – Oddities is designed for performance-based sequencing and creative experimentation. Playable instruments encourage exploration, while MIDI grooves provide a fast way to build rhythmic ideas using unconventional sound sources.

Virtual Stage and Microphone Control

A virtual stage allows control over microphone perspective, giving flexibility from close and intimate sound to wider, cinematic room presence. A traditional mixer view is also available, allowing users to choose the approach that best suits their mixing workflow.

World Percussion – Oddities runs in the free Native Instruments Kontakt Player and does not require a full Kontakt license. NKS support is included for compatible hardware and software environments.
