8Dio Agitato Grandiose Legato Bundle: "Efflorescence" by Troels Folmann

La chasse, translating to “the hunt” in French, is a metaphorical statement about what it means to be an artist. Being a creative of any kind means being driven by hunger that can only be satisfied through the expression of oneself, the externalizing of something that lives within us - and, in many cases, the yearning to watch others interact or react to our art, in the hopes that they recognize themselves within it as well.

La chasse is the feeling of chasing that release and all of the steps that must come before a piece of our internal, creative world, is relinquished for the consumption of others. Furthermore, it’s an allusion to the fact that this creative drive catches itself in a never ending cycle - the satisfaction of releasing art never satiates us for very long before we are on the hunt again, to share ourselves with the world.

*full album purchase gives access to a bonus 9-minute ambient track by Vorp, exclusively available on bandcamp, grab it here: https://darkheavenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/la-chasse

PREMIERE: Vorp - Bow & Arrow [Dark Heaven]

Dark Heaven boss Vorp delivers his debut EP ‘I Plead The Filth’ in January 2024, comprising four original compositions of dynamic breaks, techno and electro leaning material.

The Chicago, USA based Dark Heaven has operated an event series in the US for some time, welcoming many talents locally and from further afield, the leading figure in the events, Vorp, has been at the forefront since its inception and played nearly every event. Just recently Vorp initiated the launch of the affiliate label for Dark Heaven, kicking things off with a collective compilation of tracks from artists associated with Dark Heaven or those he is a fan of, this project also inaugurated his own Vorp alias and here he returns to the label with a fresh full length EP which he describes as ‘a projection of my life and a reflection of the world as I interpret it. “I Plead The Filth” is a concoction of breaky electro and acidic techno intended for the late-night rave hours.’’

‘Up The Wazoo’ opens and sets the tone perfectly, Vorp implements the voice of Dark Heaven co-founder Asha for the lyrics “where you wanna go, I can take you where you wanna go” while the track itself utilises crisp electro drums, ever shifting, oscillating synth melodies and murky bass drones. Title-track ‘I Plead The Filth’ then offers up gritty saturated drums, loopy hypnotic stabs and gnarly bass throughout.

On the b-side ‘Spiritronica’ sees Vorp venture into more hazy electronica realms via dreamy textural pads, twitchy acid licks and a bumpy 4/4 rhythm. ‘Wetallica’ then rounds out the EP on a straight acid techno tip, merging fluttering 303 lines with resonant sirens, ethereal chords and thunderous drums.

Anthology Strings is a deep-sampled music software instrument from 8Dio Productions. 

More information: https://8dio.com/instrument/anthology-vst-au-aax-samples-kontakt-instrument/

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Anthology Strings was crafted by Academy Award, TEC and G.A.N.G Award Winning Composer and Producer, Troels Folmann and Emmy-Nominated Composer and Orchestrator, Colin O’Malley. Anthology is the true reimagination of our original Adagio and Agitato String collections – hand-designed with our favorite 66.500 samples from both collections.

Anthology contains both Ensemble, Divisi and Solo String sections for both Violin(s), Viola(s), Cello(s) and Basse(s). All recorded exclusively with grand Neumann microphones – inside a rare church recording environment. The three sensible microphone positions (Close, Mixed, Far) offers you full mastery over the sound. We developed custom techniques for the close microphones – allowing them to record much closer and intimate than your common church scoring environments. No samples overwhelmed in reverb. Instead a touching and passionate collection of strings. All designed to capture your most beautiful thoughts.

The beating heart of Anthology Strings is its playability, emotion and ease-of-use. A compendium of all principal articulations needed for advanced orchestration – and equally built for fast and expressive string writing. The custom smart browser offers you access to everything. A single click gives access to all articulations. A few clicks and you’ve designed your personal matrix of articulations.

Anthology Strings is symmetry. All String Sections have identical articulations and that goes for all Ensemble, Divisi and Solo Strings in the library. But most importantly Anthology is for you. The composer. The producer. The orchestrator. The person that wants the most expressive virtual strings ever created within a fingers touch.

The person that want complete playability, effortless expression and true emotion in the sound. This library is for you and only you.
