Sonoma Wire Works turned 7 years old this month! To celebrate we've got some great offers, interviews, song picks, a new RiffWorks InstantDrummer, artist spotlights, song picks, and more!
Since launching RiffWorks and RiffWorld, we've taken on iPhone Apps, DrumCore, KitCore and Discrete Drums. We are currently improving these products and working on something new! In a down economy, we're saying yes to opportunities that will make our company stronger, so that we can continue to make recording easy and fun for you. Thanks for the community enthusiasm that has poured into SWW through the years!
"Coffee Beans" is first in a new series of RiffWorks InstantDrummer Sessions based on "EarthBeat" content by Discrete Drums. You'll find a wide variety of drum and percussion parts in this InstantDrummer that can be used in rock, blues, world and other styles. Works great in RiffWorks Standard and RiffWorks T4!
See InstantDrummer offers below.
From teenagers in their bedrooms to multi-million selling recording artists, people all over the globe are using Sonoma Wire Works' products to create their music. Each month, we talk to musicians using our products in new and exciting ways. Check out the spotlights below:
Daniel Bedingfield
At NAMM 2010, we had the pleasure of running into Daniel Bedingfield, UK singing sensation, songwriter, and FourTrack user. In addition to his own string of hits including 2001's smash hit "Gotta Get Thru This," Daniel has made cameo appearances on other albums and written for a wide range of artists. Daniel explains how he uses FourTrack, "I'll often record an idea while I'm climbing, like on top of a rock face. I'll ask them to take up the slack, and I'll sit there on the rock face and sing into my phone, then continue climbing."

Anthony Gonzalez of M83
Dramatic soundscapes, breathy vocals, and crescendos drenched in lush synth pads are hallmarks of the music of Anthony Gonzalez, better known as M83. Hailing from Antibes, France, Anthony has created music that is moving, tragic, and strangely nostalgic. M83's last album, "Saturdays = Youth," was a critical success, drawing inspiration from films of the 1980's. We had a chance to meet Anthony at Winter NAMM 2010 where he was scoping out new tools to craft his next album. Speaking via phone from his home in L.A., Anthony shared with us a little about his writing process and how he has been using DrumCore. "DrumCore is very easy and sounds so good; it's very close to having a live drummer with you."

From the '80s progressive pop of Missing Persons, to Frank Zappa, to his Grammy-winning work with Jeff Beck, Terry's playing has inspired great compositions and instrumental performances. He can take things from four-on-the-floor pop to smoking double-kick grooves. He will fly into blinding double-stroke fills only to chill with a delicate, melodic part that's perfect for film soundtracks.
