24 Muted Instruments – 24 Individual Microphones

The string players of SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings II were recorded in homogeneous groups (8 violins, 6 violas, 6 cellos and 4 double basses), capturing all of the human interactions and slight imperfections of a live performance. Individual microphones for each player allow you to access each voice of the ensemble individually.

Silky Smooth Timbres

All instruments were exclusively recorded “con sordino” (with mutes) that dampen the transmission of energy from the strings to the body of the instrument and soften or darken the sound. The effect of these silky smooth timbres perfectly suits intimate arrangements and emotional ballads, or imbues a sensitive cue with subtle intensity. An insider tip of Hollywood film composers is to blend the normal string sound with muted strings for achieving a very special broad, soft, and warm string environment.
