Cloud Splitter 是一个由三个朋友在犹他州山区创作和表演的器乐项目。 去年十月，查尔斯·范·柯克 (Charles Van Kirk)、克里斯蒂安·李 (Christian Li) 和迈克·波诺 (Mike Bono) 前往犹他州进行创作和录音，周围环绕着盐湖城外的雪峰。 结果是一张完整的专辑，从中衍生出三个样本包。 每首音乐的灵感都来自于作曲家过去对一座山的特定记忆。 瑞士瓦尔斯、巴西里约热内卢、犹他州廷帕诺戈斯山和纽约州北部都在音乐中被唤起。 范·柯克、李和波诺在专辑制作过程中在犹他州捕捉了户外现场录音，并将其中一些声音融入到音乐中。
音乐的制作风格是原声吉他、钢琴和打击乐与模拟合成器和鼓机的丰富混合。 这些作品是专门根据样本包的想法而制作的，包括催眠的极简主义节奏和缓慢演变的和声。 他们的灵感来源包括巴赫音乐、津巴布韦姆比拉音乐和 Radiohead 音乐。 样本包循环已经成熟，可以放置在电影乐谱和专辑中。
这张专辑是用 Coles 4038 铝带麦克风和 Neumann 电容麦克风、A 类麦克风前置放大器和通用音频转换器录制的。 现场录音是使用 Neumann KM184 录制到 Sound Devices 录音机中。

Cloud Splitter is an instrumental project composed and performed by three friends in the mountains of Utah. Last October, Charles Van Kirk, Christian Li and Mike Bono traveled to the Utah to write and record while surrounded by the snowy peaks outside of Salt Lake City. The result is a full length album from which three sample packs have been derived. Each piece of music is inspired by a specific memory of a mountain from the composer’s past. Vals, Switzerland, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Mount Timpanogos, Utah and Upstate New York are all evoked in the music. Van Kirk, Li and Bono captured outdoor field recordings in Utah during the making of the album and integrated some of those sounds into the music.
The production style of the music is a lush hybrid of acoustic guitars, piano and percussion with analog synthesizers and drum machines. The compositions were made specifically with the idea of sample packs in mind, including hypnotic minimalist grooves and slowly evolving harmony. Their inspirations range from Bach to Zimbabwean mbira music to Radiohead. The sample pack loops are ripe for placement in the context of film scores and albums.
The album was recorded with Coles 4038 ribbon microphones and Neumann condensers into Class A mic preamps and Universal Audio converters. The field recordings were made with Neumann KM184s into a Sound Devices recorder.
