Turkish Cymbals Soundscape Löss Splash

Turkish Cymbals Soundscape Löss Splash – The Most Fragile Stone in Sound

The Jarrod Cagwin Soundscape series arose from a unique artistic collaboration: American drummer and percussionist Jarrod Cagwin – known for his work in Contemporary Music, World Music, Jazz and Film Scoring as a hybrid drummer and hand percussionist – developed this series together with Turkish Cymbals with no compromises. Each model bears the name of a natural phenomenon and tells its own sonic story. The goal: to create a natural sound tapestry that can be creatively shaped and controlled.

The Name: Löss – The Fragile Rock of the Earth

“Löss” is one of the most fragile rocks on earth – a fine, wind-borne sediment that disintegrates immediately under finger pressure. Small, delicate and sensitive, yet of distinctive character. The Löss Splash in 7” carries this quality in its sound: through its lathed surface it is the second smallest model in the series with an almost china-like mini sound – fast, dry and of distinctive character.

Sound Character: Small, Fast and China-Like

The Löss Splash delivers a very fast, dry accent with a characteristic mini china sound. Through its lathed surface the sound is somewhat brighter than the completely unlathed models in the series – but still dry, short and controlled. The 7” size makes it the ideal accent instrument for subtle, precise sonic moments in acoustic and controlled environments.

Applications: Contemporary, World Music, Jazz and Film Scoring

The Löss Splash is ideal for musicians who want to integrate an extremely small, fast accent with distinctive character into their setup. In Contemporary and World Music contexts it creates delicate, surprising sonic moments. In Jazz it is an elegant effect element for subtle accents. In Film Scoring it serves as a delicate, fine-spun sonic splinter in the composition.

Craftsmanship from Istanbul – At the Best Price

Every Soundscape cymbal is crafted in the workshops of Turkish Cymbals in Istanbul following a tradition that reaches back centuries. The secret B20 bronze alloy – 80% copper, 20% tin – is hand-cast, heated and worked by experienced master craftsmen. Jarrod Cagwin’s precise sonic vision and the deep craft of the Istanbul masters together produce cymbals that no other company can make in this way. We at Cymballand are proud, as the official partner of Turkish Cymbals, to bring this exceptional series directly to you – without intermediaries, at the best price.
