Prehistoric Strings
A TOTALLY UNIQUE STRING LIBRARY BUILT FROM ONE-OF-A-KIND BESPOKE INSTRUMENTS TO GIVE YOUR STRING COLLECTIONS HORNS, TEETH AND A FEW ANCIENT BONES THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE.
As part of our ongoing relationship with our friends at BLEEDING FINGERS, we're delighted to bring to you Prehistoric Strings. It's a string library like no other made from totally unique inventions; hybrid monstrosities to create tones that are primordial, haunting, and staggeringly beautiful in their truly primitive nature.
Typical to the sonic ambitions of Bleeding Fingers we're proud to present an audacious project: a unique selection of stringed instruments built with bones, horns, skulls and cannibalised classical instruments including a cello, frame drum, resonating dulcimer and many others.
Their generosity led to them kindly agreeing to share their unique inventions with the rest of the composing world.
The Crow Hill team flew over to Remote Control studios in Santa Monica to create a totally new set of recordings for a tailor-made plugin with a simple brief in mind: imagine approaching this like we would any of our successful strings libraries. Give everyone the tools of the trade to incorporate these incredible instruments into their standard workflow and expand their palette with horns, teeth, and ancient fossilised bones.
DESIGNED TO FIT SEAMLESSLY INTO YOUR EXISTING WORKFLOW
We approached Prehistoric Strings as we would any other strings library. We applied our AAA-grade sampling techniques and attention to detail to create a totally unique library that fits and integrates perfectly with all your others. A broad selection of articulations, dynamic layers, round robins and onboard processing to offer you the shallowest possible learning curve and immediate transformation of your compositional work.
