ROLI Adds Wu-Tang NOISE Collaboration

Wu-Tang Clan’s Mathematics has collaborated with bendy keyboard company ROLI to produce a new Studiopack for the firm’s NOISE app and BLOCKS hardware.

The pack is based on the band’s new album Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues. It enables users to take the sounds from three tracks off the album and alter them.

Featuring instrumental and vocal clips, the Studiopack lets you put your own spin on the singles People Say, My Only One, and Lesson Learn’d.

“Make your own beat or remix mine,” said Mathematics, the Wu-Tang-affiliated producer who created The Saga Continues.

“Over the past 20 years the Wu-Tang collective has absorbed new talent and broken new ground — while holding true to the distinctive Wu-Tang sound,” said ROLI.

“With its modern twists on classic Wu-Tang beats, The Saga Continues shows the constant evolution of the group. The smooth R&B chorus in “My Only One” is just one example. Mathematics combines an old-school hip hop crunch with some brand new sonic flavours — all of which are now at your fingertips in the new Studiopack.”

Mathematics added: “Each sound has to complement the other. Each frequency has to be on point. I might spend hours just trying to find the right snare.”

Wu-Tang: The Saga Continues is the second collection of sounds from a member of the Wu-Tang Clan available in NOISE. Spoonful Of Grit by RZA features pianos, basslines and kung-fu effects all inspired by albums such as Enter the Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers) and Liquid Swords.
