Details

The library includes a comprehensive set of sounds, such as clusters, long and short hits, nontonal percussion, and various effects. Each sound is crafted from extensive techniques, including playing with fingers, hands, and various implements like sticks and chains, allowing for a broad palette of textures and dynamics. The clusters cover a range from deep booms to shimmering highs, while the atonal percussion provides a quasi-random rhythmic feel through slight variations in sound with each round robin. Long hits are suited for creating cinematic atmospheres, while short hits serve as impactful accents.8 or higher. This allows for further shaping of the sounds to fit various scoring contexts. The library is designed to complement the existing Prepared Piano series, sharing a consistent sonic character while focusing specifically on percussive applications.
