Details

The library encompasses a range of tuned and untuned percussion, showcasing instruments that evoke distinct timbres and textures. The Aluphone, crafted from tuned aluminum bells, provides a magical metallic quality, while the Cimbalom delivers a shimmering, spine-tingling sound that cuts through orchestral textures. The Hg2O waterphone adds an ethereal dimension, with samples capturing both bowed and drummed performances, allowing for dynamic sonic exploration.

Each instrument is recorded in AIR’s Lyndhurst Hall, renowned for its exceptional acoustics, ensuring that the library complements existing orchestral libraries like Albion and Spitfire Symphony Orchestra. The collection also includes a baroque harpsichord, steel drums, and a variety of scraped percussion sounds, all performed by top session musicians. This suite encourages innovative sound design and can serve as both a substitute for traditional orchestral elements and a source of otherworldly textures.
