Spitfire Audio has announced the release of Marimba Swarm, a Kontakt instrument library featuring 9 marimbas placed all over the hall at Air Studios to create a tuned percussion ‘choir’.
A versatile set of tools recorded in the world class Air Studios London by Jake Jackson via the finest signal path to 2″ tape. With a broad variety of mixes, microphone positions and perspectives, Marimba swarm caters to a variety of causes.
From a celebratory carnival troupe, to Terence Malick inspired vistas, to awesome Steve Reich or Terry Riley style systems uses. From a distant boys choir to an intense and slightly insane wooden rain storm!
