Details

The library includes eight string players (three violins, two violas, two cellos, and one bass) alongside woodwinds such as a contrabass clarinet and a Tubax, complemented by a beautifully nuanced piano and guitar. The strings are recorded closely, maintaining a soft dynamic range to preserve intimacy while allowing for epic emotional moments.
