Intimate prepared piano
The soft and introspective sound of the prepared piano is essential for cinematic scoring. This capsule captures the intimacy of a felt piano, an instrument recorded with a sheet of soft felt placed between the hammers and the strings. Lovingly recorded at multiple velocity layers, the achingly delicate tones of this capsule will inspire the most emotive themes.
To widen the breadth of timbres available we also created hybrid patches, combining the piano sounds with a curated selection of other characterful instruments. Finally, we thoroughly abused our piano, placing a selection of objects between the strings which were then struck, scraped and plucked to provide expressive hits, textures and effects.
Use this capsule’s melodic piano patches for cinematic bliss, or the atonal sounds for horrifying shocks. Whatever your project, Felt Piano provides swirls of inspiring notes.
