Whispers, rumours, leaks. Like the crescendo of a filter sweep, the return of Absynth – the iconic software instrument that helped define the sound of early 00’s electronic music – has reached fever pitch in the lead-up to its unexpected rebirth. Behind the scenes at Native Instruments, the energy has been no less frenetic.
“Maximum crunch, constant panic” is how Brian Clevinger, Absynth’s creator and founder of Rhizomatic described the final pre-release push.
Speaking to MusicRadar mere days before the launch of Absynth 6, Clevinger seems keenly aware of the high expectations he and the development team are expected to meet.
