Modwheel has announced the release of Strained Wire + Garotte, an instrument sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.
‘Like all composers/musicians we’ve often thought what I really need now is the sound of a 4 metre length of strained wire, either plucked, bowed, hit with a mallet or fully tortured. This thought nagged away at us until we felt compelled to act on it’ said MODWHEEL’S David Donaldson.
‘The initial instrument took some time and experimentation to perfect but the results surpassed our expectations’ he continued.
A making of video can be viewed here.
