Description : Improvised, expressive and human string solos
Human, raw and expressive solo string instruments: violin, viola, cello and double bass. We have recorded over 1,000 unique improvisational performances on these four instruments. They can be played instantly by simply playing harder or softer on the keyboard. From breathing and fragile murmurs to absolutely wild and manic bursts of chaos.
Additional Information :
Not for the traditionalist, and not for the faint of heart. This is for fans of alternative scores and inspired by composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Jed Kurzel and Jonny Greenwood.
There’s also our unique and powerful STORMS articulation, can create crescendos from a solo performance to a frenetic ensemble. As well as all of the this, there are many other classic long and short note articulations which complement the sound and character of all the instruments.
