€ 249

Water. Metal. Glass. Stone.

Even if you’re unfamiliar with these instruments by name, you've likely heard their otherworldly tones in film scores and sound design projects – sometimes taking center stage, other times lurking ominously or even threatening in the background. The Studio Elements collection brings together water (waterphones), metal (singing bowls, steel rails, tam-tams), stone (lithophones), and glass (glass harmonica, verrophone, bottles), offering everything from mellow, ethereal drones to signals of impending danger in suspenseful movie scenes. This rare and unusual collection is incredibly versatile, perfect for adding unique textures to any production.

Overview

  • Rare and unique instruments

  • Archaic sounds, from ethereal shimmers to thunderous strikes

  • Perfect out-of-the-box sound

  • Expertly crafted mixer presets

  • Easily place each instrument at different positions in the main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna

  • These totally unique instruments have long been a trade secret for composers and sound designers, capturing their imagination with unusual archaic sounds that range from the ethereal to the thunderous. As strange as these instruments are they are also wildly versatile, precisely because there are no real rules or preconceived notions of how to use them. They’re easily blendable with more traditional orchestrations and with a dazzling array of VSL custom created effects presets the already wildly imaginative tones of these instruments have been significantly expanded.
