Details

The ensemble consists of two violins, a viola, a cello, and a double bass, all led by Viktor Orri Árnason. The recordings took place at AIR Studios, utilising multiple mic positions including Close, Tree, Ambient, and Stereo Mix, ensuring a versatile sound that can fit various mixing contexts. The library features a range of articulations, including long sustained notes and dynamic textures, enhanced by the Evo Grid technology that allows for seamless transitions and evolving phrases.

New innovations such as "Feathering" and "Waves" provide unique performance options. Feathering enables selective player engagement for intricate chord voicings, while Waves introduce dynamic arcs that swell and fade, mimicking natural crescendos and decrescendos. This combination of features allows for expressive and sophisticated string writing, making it suitable for both intimate and expansive scoring scenarios.
