Details

The library includes both solo and ensemble performances, offering 12 core articulations such as whisper tone sustains, crescendos, and muted dynamics. The recordings were made with large-diaphragm condenser microphones positioned very close to the instruments, ensuring hyper-intimate detail and a fragile sound that balances between breath and pitch. This approach allows for a unique, airy character that can enhance the emotional depth of compositions.

Articulations can be layered, mixed, and reversed through an intuitive user interface, which features color-coded controls for easy manipulation. The crossfade gizmo facilitates blending of sound layers, while LFO controls enable tempo-synced modulation for dynamic swells. This flexibility opens up creative possibilities for evolving textures, making the library a valuable tool for composers seeking to add unpredictability and humanistic details to their scores.
