Native Instruments has released Polar Flare, a new Expansion pack focusing on “organic, glacial electronica.”
Inspired by the natural world, Polar Flare captures an otherworldly sound heard in a broad range of artists from Boards of Canada, to Caribou, Bonobo, Four Tet, and beyond. With metallic clangs, forest crackles, atmospheric synths, dreamy vocals, and more, Polar Flare is palette of sounds suitable for a broad range of musical styles.
The remote island of Bornholm, Denmark is where field recordings were taken of surrounding life, including forests and harbors, and compiled into kits for Battery and Maschine. From the nearby studio in an old church, classic analog synths, Rhodes keys, and vocals were recorded and come as ready-to-use samples for any sampler or DAW. Also included are new Massive and Monark presets, focusing on organic sounding bells, basses, and pads. Polar Flare was created by the Danish studio Six Bit Deep in collaboration with top Scandinavian vocalists including Josephine Philip (Trentemøller, Darkness Falls) and Connor Fitzpatrick.
Native’s Polar Flare is available now exclusively at the NI Online Shop for $49 / €49 / £44 / ¥6,280 / AU$79.
A compact version of Polar Flare is also available as an iMaschine 2 Expansion, for sketches on the go. The iMaschine 2 expansion is available at the iMaschine 2 in-app store for $0.99 / €0.99 / £0.79 / ¥ 120 / AU$ 1.29
