Ascension

String Quartet in E Minor, Op. 44 #2, mvt. 4 - Presto agitato

The idea behind this piece was to use unconventional methods in a conventional score. Sam Cardon had introduced us to Nate Pyfer who had done work for Kaskade, Neon Trees and Lindsey Stirling to name a few. Anyway, he showed us his tricks and tips on how he produced music and that led to us writing music in similar fashion. Thus, I present to you "Breaking Point" featuring me on the guitar, and everything else. Enjoy.

This heroic march is an official demo I wrote for Musical Sampling's latest brass library, "Adventure Brass." The library is very athletic and playable--making it a joy to work with. Check it out here: http://www.musicalsampling.com/adventure-brass/

I will also note that all the strings in the first 2/3 of the piece are from Musical Sampling's recent "Soaring Strings" library. The shorter string articulations in the last 1/3 of the piece are from Berlin Strings.

The 8Dio Studio Solo Strings series carries on from our critically acclaimed Intimate Studio product line. Now with more grit, intensity, controllability and of course articulations. The Studio Solo Cello marks countless hours of critical recording and capturing of essential musical performances, which have been curated and crafted into a fully playable solo instrument. Featuring only the best in musicianship, the Solo Cello has all the intricacy and passion you would expect, capable of dynamic and moving performances, through to authentically virtuosic playing. Recorded in a controlled studio environment, the full quartet was captured in incredible detail and without compromise utilizing two dual-microphone techniques. This combined method allows you to freely blend between a direct signal and a more spacious and ambient position, enabling you to control the positioning and distance of the musician accurately.

Speedscoring: Exploring the Valleys

Century 2.0 includes 2 new mixes with the instruments placed in natural orchestral seating position.  Great, polished sound, out of the box.  MIX A is very focused and detailed.  LOTS of bow.  MIX B is wide and ambient, puffy and warm. We realize that many composers out there are defining their own sound by mixing and matching libraries.  With this in mind, we will also be providing EQ presets and videos to help you mix Century with other great strings libraries.
