Two Beauties for Celestial Harmonies

With its soft, ethereal tones and timeless beauty, the harp opens the gates to new, enchanting soundscapes. Crossing genre boundaries, this instrument brings a special atmosphere and rich tonal color to any recording. Its many strings release a magical world of sound, captivating listeners with tones that seem to emerge from a fairytale. Now, you can explore all of these possibilities with this harmonically versatile library that features two different harps with a wealth of meticulously captured, delicate playing techniques. Recorded in the relatively dry, controlled environment of our Silent Stage, this library allows you to shape and expand your custom harp tones – whether you prefer them pure and dry or enhanced with the otherworldly quality of our convolution reverb, powered by Vienna MIR technology.
