Soniccouture - Threnody Strings

NOTE: Electronic Delivery Only

Avant-garde Strings recorded with a 60-piece Orchestra

26 Articulations - 3 Mic Channels - Kontakt Player 6 + NKS

Threnody samples a massive string section of 60 musicians, creating a textural playground of col legno clattering, clusters, 'clouds' of activity, and arcs of glissandi. Avant-garde & extended playing techniques like these have long been a foundation for sci-fi and horror soundtracks, where the orchestra becomes a shifting edifice of sound.

Threnody features 26 different articulations sampled across the entire orchestral range, which can be layered with an XY controller to create entirely new orchestral shapes and movements.
