Description: Sound of Shadows
We’ve always liked the way jazz film scores sound. The orchestral approach to jazz harmony has a romantic flavor that is irresistible and has easily stood the test of time. We just miss the string passages, the sound of silent trumpet harmonies, the saxophone section, the flugelhorn and trombones with horns. For many years we have felt the desire to create a product that embraces this style of music and now we have:
Noir is our first step towards what we hope will be a new line in the Sonokinetic range. As always, we added some changes to our existing engine, but in this case it was more like a rewrite. For those familiar with our other orchestral libraries, Noir is different! Due to the nature of the musical content, we decided to deviate from our usual four high-mid-low presets and go a step further in the spirit of atonal Espressivo, with 12 preset keys containing one performance each. This makes it even easier to combine different presets and experiment with intertwining melodies and harmonies, allowing for a more horizontal composing process. There has been a lot of thought on how to translate this concept into an easy to use interface and we hope you enjoy what we have come up with and we will support this new direction.
With Noir, we’ve put all three recorded orchestral sections into one section tool, making it very easy to combine different groups of instruments, and of course we have a robust randomize button that will play up to twelve fresh phrases with each press.
