The INTERSTRING SOUND LIBRARY is a collection of extended guitar sounds, an ongoing project of documenting the sonic possibilities of all kinds of (plucked) string instruments, both for TIP to use in their own music and for other guitarists, composers or music enthusiasts to get inspired.

If you want to use the sounds for your own project, add something to the library from yourself or to suggest an idea for a collaboration including the INTERSTRING SOUND LIBRARY, feel free to reach out to TIP.
