Meet the Musicians
All samples for Simple Hurdy-Gurdy were recorded by Matthias Loibner (left) and Johannes Geworkian Hellman (right). Matthias recorded all of the melody notes (yellow in Kontakt) and Johannes recorded all of the drone notes (red in Kontakt).
Matthias & Johannes are paid a fair royalty every time this library is purchased.
Inspired by Dark Dice
The core reason that Simple Hurdy-Gurdy exists in the first place is thanks to Dark Dice, the #1 fiction podcast in the world, who originally hired Steven Melin to record these musicians for custom soundtrack music. As part of the composing process, Steven converted these recordings into Kontakt instruments, which became the foundation for what is now Simple Samples Audio.
