Experimental medieval textures

Venture into the sonic heart of a dark, foreboding forest with Grimm. With six ensembles performing textural, melodic, and aleatoric articulations as well as an array of processed pads and impacts, Grimm puts instruments and sounds from distant eras into a new context. It's a set of cinematic scoring tools with historical associations but a contemporary edge.

Grimm was made together with Bleeding Fingers Music explicitly for screen scoring. Its foundation consists of six three-piece ensembles made from selected traditional European instruments: Tagelharpa, tagelharpa cello, lutes, sackbuts, hurdy-gurdy, baroque flutes, recorders, and strings. Building from these instruments' characteristic sounds, the articulations and processed patches in Grimm instantly set scenes and manufacture moods.
