Details

The library includes a nine-piece string ensemble with four distinct sections, each offering legato articulations and multiple round-robins for nuanced performance. The alto choir adds a human touch, while the electric guitar, upright piano, and analogue synth provide diverse tonal options. The drum kit is recorded in two distinct styles: one with bamboo broomsticks for a tighter sound and another with felt beaters for a more orchestral feel.

Each instrument is crafted to evoke intimacy and expressiveness, with the upright piano featuring a unique recording technique that balances clarity and warmth. The analogue synth, based on the Sequential Prophet 5, delivers organic sounds that enhance the library's cinematic quality. The overall design prioritizes playability, allowing composers to easily transition between gentle and vivid performances, making it a valuable resource for creating emotional and dramatic music.
