Cycling 74 Incidental Gesture
Cycles Series 3 Sound Library

Cycling 74 Incidental Gesture gives you active sonic textures and melodic meanderings that provide movement, emotion and narrative expression to your compositions or media projects. Composed to integrate easily into existing pieces yet intricate enough to stand on their own as incidental beds. These long (30 sec. to 3 minute) files were designed around direct use in digital workstations yet are all seamlessly looped end to end for extended play as well.

Cycling 74 Incidental Gesture Content Categories:
-Horn Based Gestures: lite to heavily processed acoustic horn gestures, broken out as raw, processed, fx only and individual notes (where
   appropiate).
-Melodic Meanderings: melodically based experimental traipsing.
-Moody Incidentals: a bit more textural, evoking an atmospheric ‘vibe.’
-Narrative Expressions: sonic banter and non-verbal storytelling.
-Rhythmic Beds: rhythmic yet non-repetitive phrases.

About the Cycles Series
In this 4-volume series of audio source libraries, sound designer Ron MacLeod expands upon his previous work by producing a continuing series of ‘inspirational’ sonic collections, utilizing the innovative processing tools from Cycling ‘74 — Max/MSP, Pluggo and Radial.

Each Cycles release contains two discs: a DVD-ROM containing 24-bit .wav files and a standard audio CD for an easy auditioning alternative. The samples are supplied as 48kHz for use in film, DV, and multimedia productions and 44.1kHz version for compatibility with music production tools. Files are seamlessly looped end to end.

The files on Cycles releases can be used freely by the purchaser - other than inclusion in other sound libraries - without any additional royalties or usage fees.  Because of the nature of some of the longer files, they cannot be used as a stand-alone piece represented as the purchaser’s original composition.

It is expected that additional material will be added to the file to make it unique or that it will be significantly altered through unique processing. In the case of media work (film, video, DV), sound FX, dialog, ambience is considered sufficient additional material. Respect the source / respect the art form.
