SHAPESHIFT VIOLIN TEXTURES.

Breaking away from the confines of tradition, “Shapeshift Violin Textures” embarks on a journey into uncharted realms. In collaboration with the esteemed violinist Kayvon, we delved deep into experimentation, capturing not just unique improvisations and sounds. Included in the library are 10 foundational recordings, each capturing a unique short improvisation by Kayvon, as well as meticulously curated 50 distinct sound-designed textures derived from these recordings.

VERSATILE EXPRESSION THROUGH CREATIVE PROCESSING

Through an innovative approach to sonic manipulation, we’ve pushed the boundaries of what a violin can be, transcending its traditional role to offer a palette of sounds that defy expectation and ignite creativity and emotion. These techniques include unique sound processing methods utilized by founders Kirsten and Thomas in their professional composition work, spanning trailer music, sync licensing, and film.

We used a blend of creative processing techniques – from re-amping, spectral resonance manipulations, to unique filtering and custom reverb chains – we’ve transformed the violin into a versatile instrument of expression.

DARK AND ENCHANTING ATMOSPHERES

With a mood that’s dark yet enchantingly beautiful, this library invites you to explore a spectrum of emotions through its atmospheric textures. From haunting whispers to resonant echoes, each sound tells a story of its own.

COLLABORATING WITH KAYVON: PUSHING BOUNDARIES

The decision to collaborate with Kayvon was inspired by a shared curiosity: to push the boundaries of what’s possible with the violin. His unique improvisations, captured with detailed mic techniques, add a layer of depth and authenticity to every texture.
