The gentle side of the orchestra
A curated ensemble of Bassoon, Bass Clarinet, Clarinet, Alto Flute and Flute, captured in the reverberant acoustics of Lyndhurst Hall, AIR Studios. Each instrument feathers in and out of its most effective playing range, creating a section that blends naturally without the need to manage individual parts.
From gentle pastoral underscore to atmospheric, barely-there textures — the Long Air preset features half the section producing only the sound of air passing through their instruments. Three bespoke signals (Close, Mix, Vintage) let you shape the tone from defined and present to warm and characterful.
