The Chamber of Whispering Strings

Chamber music is always a profoundly intimate experience, for musicians and audiences alike. The delicate performances carry a unique sense of closeness, where notes flow so clearly that every slight movement of the hands and every vibration of the strings can be heard as much as they’re felt – and mutes add to this subtle intensity. This expertly sampled collection captures all of this with exquisite precision. While the sordinos mute the sound, the intimacy is ramped up. Studio Chamber Strings (sordino) furthermore provides you with utmost flexibility due to the possibility of utilizing the included ensembles dry, enriched with the MIR-derived convolution reverb or placed in any other acoustic environment of your choice.

Muted Tonality
The sequel to Studio Chamber Strings expands on the already wide ranging chamber sounds with a special tonal palette that opens up new sonic worlds with the use of mutes. The ensembles of six first violins, six second violins, four violas, three cellos and two double basses exhibit a gentle, nuanced and beautifully refined sound, masterfully performed with all the subtleties that are essential to create lively and organic string performances. They were recorded in the tight, controlled ambience of our purpose-built Silent Stage and placed on the large Stage A of Synchron Stage Vienna using the Synchron Player’s integrated convolution reverb technology.
