Foreword

“Exploration is in our nature. We began as wanderers, and we are

wanderers still. We have lingered long enough on the shores of the

cosmic ocean. We are ready at last to set sail for the stars.”

― Carl Sagan

Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a fascination with outer space. I’ve

always loved attempting to comprehend the vast distances between

celestial objects, and realizing how just small humans are in the grand

scheme of things. But overall, I think it’s the notion of exploring the un-

known that has always kept me coming back for more. Contemplating

the universe encourages so many questions. In a world of ubiquitous

computing where every answer is just a browser search away, it’s some-

times nice to gaze into the night sky and realize just how little we know

about the universe at large.

If there’s any section of electronic music that has inspired a similar sense

of awe in me, it’s sampling technology. At the surface it appears straight-

forward, you record samples and you play them back. But once you

get past the surface, an entire world of sound awaits. It’s a spectacular

feature of audio that as soon as you slow it down, reverse the playback

direction, or chop it into smaller pieces, it becomes something different

entirely. I have countless memories of playing around with samplers and

getting to the point where I could not recall the original source material

for the audio that I was listening to.

So here we are, with Stardust. I could list off a number of technical

achievements, features, and bells and whistles that this module has, but

that’s not what makes it special. What truly makes it special is its ca-

pacity for exploring sound. I invite you to let go of preconceived notions

about sampling or looping and let the module take you to new areas

of sonic discovery. Find new sounds within existing source material, and

then find even more new sounds within those. The beautiful thing is, the

more sounds you discover, the more you’ll realize are still out there.
