As a celebration for our 50th release on katharsis, we return to our traditional ritual of recycling, repurposing, and reimagining our catalogue with the sample pack "Grand Ritual Flux". Just as we did on our previous sample packs “Emotional Core Sequencing” and “Affective Nucleus Extraction,” we have meticulously scanned and sifted through our recent discography, extracting spectral fragments, textural residues, and harmonic echoes - assembling and categorizing them into an expansive, ready-to-use .wav sample pack for your DAW of choice.

Grand Ritual Flux embodies both continuity and transformation, a sonic commemoration of our evolving past and uncertain future. The method remains intuitive: deep listening, careful slicing, and free association, allowing the pack to take shape as a natural extension of the katharsis ethos. At its core, this project is about removing barriers to creation and demotivating the gatekeeping culture. As a defiant gesture against the constraints of copyright, we invite all to reshape, manipulate, and breathe new life into the sound of katharsis. We encourage you to use these samples freely in your own productions - as always, we are eager to hear what emerges from the ever-expanding flux of creativity.

To demonstrate the potential within Grand Ritual Flux, label founder jjjacob has crafted a track exclusively using sounds from the pack.
