Hypersonic Violin Textures

From my private archive, textures made from a few violins sampled at a super high sample rate so when you detune them you don't get all the bleeps and bloops from the 1s and 0s

The story

This is my ongoing adventure with getting musicians to play aleatoric but “nice” stuff that is then designed to be plummeted in pitch to create insane murky worlds… Here we have 3 violinists recorded at super high sample rates so you don’t get aliasing when pitching down an octave (or three). Check back here for when I update, plan is to add lots of effects and stuff onto the front end.

  • Amazing sounds!

    I really enjoy this pack.. 25 variations! Struck me with sudden inspiration . The only downside is that the audio level , volume, is very low. I am using compression now, to get it up to something I can hear.

    Thanks!

    Interesting rumbles that are vaguely reminiscent of the low level tinitus I get during an attack of Menieres disease.

    I found I had to push up the instrument volume to 100% and the track pre gain in Cubase to 30db before I could get a volume loud enough to use.
