ETHEREAL TEXTURES

Gentle Winds is a collection of the experiments conducted for Dan Keen’s eventual Petrichor library. Recordings of an array of Saxophones and Recorders were made and combined with Fracture Sounds’ atmospheric sound design to form a library of ethereal woodwind textures, available for free! To form ideas for his latest library, Dan Keen set about recording a set of woodwind instruments in a dry space to get a sense of what the instruments could achieve and how that would translate into samples. The experiments were successful and eventually led to the “Wisp” articulation, which forms the cornerstone of Petrichor: Earthy Winds.

The team at Fracture Sounds have taken these samples and processed them into an ethereal Atmosphere Layer- which can be soloed on the interface. Add texture to your music now using Gentle Winds, available in the free Kontakt Player.

Dynamics – Control the dynamic layers via the mod wheel/ CC1.

Motion – Add modulation separately to the recorders and saxophones, increasing the subtle dynamic movement between each instrument

Reverb – Control the overall volume of the built-in reverb. Click the settings cog for more controls.

Atmospheres Layers- Control the level of the Atmosphere Layer and press [S] to solo it

Attack and Release – Control the attack and release values of the notes.

Articulation – Switch between sustain or swell articulations. Swells work per note, so you can create undulating performances.

Dynamic Range – Control the volume difference between soft and loud dynamics.
