New Spitfire Audio Sample Library & Album

US Oliver Patrice Weder's The Pool Project - instruments recorded in a reverberant pool house 20/08/21

Spitfire Audio has a new release - Oliver Patrice Weder's The Pool Project. Here's what they have to say about it...

Breathe new life into your compositions with this versatile toolkit of unique timbres, created by contemporary composer, Oliver Patrice Weder. For his second sample library, the expert sound curator has recorded a wide variety of instruments and techniques in the remarkable setting of a reverberant pool house -- surrounded and inspired by nature. Ranging from intimate chanting solo and trio vocals, breathy woodwind swells and circular breathing techniques, to personalised piano sounds, delicate percussion and shimmering organic and electronic loops, carefully sculpted to blend together perfectly, and presented in Spitfire Audio's award-winning dedicated plug-in with a range of bespoke controls, effects and reverbs. Adding a much sought-after human quality and fragility to your music, these transcendental textures are suited to intimate film scores and contemporary classical or ambient tracks alike.

Accompanying the library is the release of Weder's stunning sophomore album, out now on SA Recordings - born out of a similar sound palette and touching on global influences from jazz and ambient, to modern classical film composition.
