INSTRUMENTS OF THE GODS 

Our first phrase library focusing on plucked instruments, MEDIEVAL PHRASES LUTE & THEORBO brings you into a world of classic imagination, booming with bards and taverns, questing knights, and roving robber barons and bandits. 

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the courts of the kings and queens constantly needed new ways to inspire their audiences. People looked back to the ancients for their inspiration, whether in science or medicine, or in music. The Ancient Greeks tapped into the divine in their epic recitations accompanied by the lyre and kithara. It was only natural that during the Renaissance – when all things ancient were in fashion again – that the lute and theorbo would take a centerpiece.  

Our MEDIEVAL PHRASES LUTE & THEORBO brings back that flair of medieval castles and the inspiring spirit of the Renaissance, transporting you to rustic pubs and medieval markets, from Homer’s epics to the court of the Medicis. The light, heavenly plucks of the lute are richly accented by the deep voice of the theorbo, perfect for period pieces, experimental music, or ambient dwellings.

This is the first part of a 3-part collaboration for the Disquiet Junto. All the sounds used in this basic rhythm track (85bpm) are from a recent session where the numerous noises a bass guitar makes were recorded using a contact mic on the body of the bass rather than through the normal pickups.

HIGHLIGHT: 6 CELLOS LEGATO MF-F

Improvised speedwrite done in three passes with no retakes, back-to-back (within ~6 min) - first cellos, then bone, then basses. 

Track by Jasper Blunk. All patches from Vista 2 (brass is bonus in the library). External verb used but nothing else on the master - all patches are extremely early. Brass isn't tuned yet. In this particular track the legato patch used is just one dynamic so it doesn't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far. The challenge was to try to write a quick piece in a brief period of time with just Vista 2. Most mics are decca but close mixed in, in some cases (like cello legatos).  - JB

Vista II - 3-PASS Speedwrite w early patches (details in descr.)

HIGHLIGHT: 7 VIOLAS LEGATO MP-MF and 6 CELLOS LEGATO MF-F

Patches are early with next to no finesse or take selection (also no tuning, sustain finesses, grafts, take selection etc.. filter/legato finesse, interval work etc.. so you are bound to hear things rougher than usual). The movement you hear in the sustains is to a degree representative of what will be in the final library, but will be somewhat masked as well by other dynamics playing at the same time and certain finalization protocols that have yet to be completed. But yes, there will be movement. In this particular example the legato patches used are just one dynamic so they don't show the dynamic range yet (just volume on mod-wheel), however up to 12+. dynamics have been recorded for legatos so far. External verb used. Close + Decca mics.  - JB

Vista II - Vla+Vc MP-MF 8va Dbl Leg Test

HIGHLIGHT: 5 BASSES PIZZ (LOWEST OCTAVE), 6 CELLOS SHORTS (ONE OF THE LIBRARY'S VARIATIONS), 12 VIOLINS SHORTS (ONE OF THE LIBRARY'S VARIATIONS), PIANO STACCATOS, R&D SOLO VIOLIN SHORTS (DETAILS BELOW)

Improv straight into the DAW so please excuse the messy playing. Patch is extremely early with zero take selection or timing (relying on natural timing of the players which is, as you can tell, going to end up with uneven pre-ambience which is super delicate.... i.e. not optimal for showing early examples of). Close + Decca for the string shorts - the ens. close mics have a little bit of high pass on them. External verb used but no further processing. Cello and violin ranges don't stack/interact with this example. 

Also lightly layered are some R&D (research and development) solo violin shorts done in that room which are in plans to extrapolate to dedicated solo shorts in the library - some of the new content that is in the books to be added. - JB

Vista II - Rough String Shorts + Piano (details in description)

Note: this example is using a beta of the library and includes external reverb.
