Spitfire Audio has introduced a new instrument library that is a testament to the natural textures and tonalities of indie folk music. Following the Plucked Folk Ensemble library featuring 7 deeply sampled acoustic folk instruments assembled as a fully arrangeable ensemble, this new “Heart and Hollow” series collaboration with Hunter Rogerson introduces 4 new dynamic folk voices.
Folk Voices enables music makers to access that quintessential indie folk sound, akin to Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes.
Recorded in the serene acoustics of St. John’s Anglican Church, and featuring four configurable vocals (three soloists and one ensemble – “Willow”, “Juniper”, “Hawthorn”, and “Forest”) with 11 articulations and eight mixes, Hearth and Hollow – Folk Voices captures a real and intimate vocal session, highlighting the warmth and unique character each singer’s voice has to offer. Raw and unadorned, close-knit and deeply personal, each vocalist brings a distinct flavour to the table.
Hearth and Hollow – Folk Voices features
- 4 arrangeable vocal styles (three solo, one combo), representing different approaches to the folk sound.
- Housed in a cosy, interactive UI that encourages intuitive sculpting and arranging.
- CC controllable vowel blending.
- Intuitive doubling control for creating instant double-tracked vocal parts.
- Articulations crafted and performed to mirror the common practices of indie vocals.
- Solo NKI’s of each singer for additional arrangement flexibility.
- Bonus NKI’s with true legato whistling and a human percussion kit.
- Download Size: 6.23GB.
Available for Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player, the Folk Voices library is priced 99 USD/EUR/GBP.
