What this is

A non-standard KONTAKT-library that takes on a different approach to Clavinets.  

The library offers a wide variety of samples, ranging from haunting drones to shimmering wildflies.

Many of the patches include an anarchy of sound-variations, allowing you to mix and match more expressive and dynamic performances.

The instrument sampled is like a massive guitar with 60 long guitar-strings. Which inherent many of the possibilities of an electric guitar.  Just that a keyboard with tapping mechanism usually stands in the way for more control over the strings.

Strings were set in motion with the use of external objects. Like bow-hairs, ebows, rotating small fan, electrical toothbrush, needles, scrapes, clinkers and feedback.

soundscapes for cinematic scoring

DO YOU LIKE LIKE THE SOUND OF BOWED GUITAR?

Humbucker pickups on long strings produce a rich sound that is perfect for making rich soundscapes.  Kinda like an “ambient guitar” but with a darker timbre.
