Details

The library features a variety of articulations, including tremolos, rolls, hits, and glissandi, allowing for expressive performance across its large instrument ensembles. Recorded at AIR Studios' Lyndhurst Hall, the sound is rich and warm, enhanced by the option to blend multiple microphone positions: close, tree, ambient, and outriggers. This flexibility provides precise control over the sonic landscape, making it suitable for both intimate and expansive arrangements.

Dynamic and speed controls further shape the sound, particularly for tremolos and long notes, enabling composers to craft nuanced textures. The library's design draws inspiration from Pointillism, where discrete notes combine to create a fuller auditory experience, unlocking new possibilities for orchestral arrangements and sound design.
