Fractured Strings

REFRACT, BLOOM, SOAR

This is a new kind of chamber string library, designed to infuse warmth, colour, and humanity into the gestures, leaps, and cellular motifs that you compose — as well as to inspire you with surprising intervallic and modal possibilities. These strings refract, bloom and soar across 100+ seventh-reaches, two-note statements, swelling rotations, pizzicato strums, and soaring chord extensions.

ELEVATE YOUR SCORES WITH SCALE MODE

Introducing our new Scale Mode technology — select from any of the seven diatonic modes or build your own scale by simply clicking the notes you want included. From there, it intelligently selects the right samplesour players will follow your lead that conform to the scale you've entered, split by velocity — developing their intervallic string techniques and triggering wider intervals at higher velocities for endless inspiration.

AIR STUDIOS AT ITS MOST SPELLBINDING

To capture tiny, intimate moments unfolding across a vast, uncaring landscape, we brought a small section of London's finest string players to the mammoth AIR Lyndhurst Hall, home of blockbuster scores. Together, these eight players, the Bleeding Fingers Music team, and our own collective of composers, conductors, and engineers collaborated to create a vast suite of short leaps, gestures and swells. The resulting sound makes for a sublime companion to other libraries recorded at AIR Studios, including other small string section libraries such as Albion Neo, Chamber Strings, and Olafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions.

EXTREME SCORING

For Frozen Planet II, Bleeding Fingers Music and the show's composers Hans Zimmer, James Everingham and Adam Lukas were looking for a library that could score not only scenes of frozen silence, but also scenes of action, tension, crisis and drama. Rather than imitate the whispering textures of glacial rivers, Fractured Strings offers a spectrum of sounds and textures that reflect the planet's fuller-voiced, more melodic moments, from microscopic to grand gestures. The result is a library with potential far beyond the world's end.
