Montage by Splice Kingdom of Dust: Virtuoso Strings WAV

Strings are the backbone to any cinematic production or film score and Kingdom of Dust - Virtuoso Strings is Montage’s answer for anyone who needs high quality, intricate, and complex string performances that you simply cannot recreate. This pack specializes in unusual playing techniques to create unique string fx, textures, and melodies that can only be played by a handful of people and cannot be found anywhere else.

A brain child of multi-talented string performer and composer Megan Shung (accompanied by session musicians Jacob Szekely and Ryan Baird), these string performances include rare techniques like plucks, trills, staccato, slides, bow scrubs and bowed tailpieces. You’ll find incredible violin, cello, string bass, and Ehru samples meant to add depth, emotion, gravitas and fear into your sound. These golden strings are ideal for the score to an apocalyptic thriller, a mind-bending drama, a gripping horror, or a tension filled period piece. Entrench yourself into the Kingdom of Dust and give your next production a string polish that your listeners will never forget.
