VIENNA DIMENSION STRINGS III

Vienna Dimension Strings III - fragile string sound, whisper-quiet

This collection extends the sound spectrum of the Vienna Dimension Strings by another facet. The instruments were only played "sul tasto" (close to the fingerboard), which brings completely new tonal subtleties into play. In contrast to “con sordino” (with mute), this way of playing is characterized by the fact that the bow is carried very close to the fingerboard, which means that the sound is lower in overtones and thus softer, more noisy and more “breathing”, similar to a flute played in pianissimo. The special feature of the Strings dimension , which allows the number of players to be increased step by step, opens up completely new possibilities for starting arrangements out of nowhere (“dal niente”) or for ending them as quietly as a whisper (“al niente”).

As with Vienna Dimension Strings I & I I , all interactions and irregularities of the live music-making were captured. The players were recorded in four homogeneous groups, with individual microphones being used for each player in the ensemble. This enables automated or manual access to each individual voice and thus the greatest possible performance flexibility, which leads to amazingly authentic sound results.

Amazing realism through imperfection

Even the best musicians do not play in unison in “perfect harmony”: One makes the change a little slower, another faster, but perhaps with greater dynamics, etc. The musicians in an ensemble continuously adapt to their fellow players, changing timbre, intensity, vibrato , Intonation, bow speed and much more. All of these interactions happen automatically between the conductor and a good ensemble and ultimately make up the uniqueness and “magic” of a live performance. With Vienna Dimension StringsIndividual dynamic changes of individual players within a group can be easily generated using Velocity Crossfades. You can even designate one or two "weak" players who, for example, play a bit messy, timid or with delayed bets.

With Vienna Dimension Strings III you also get the free Vienna Instruments player. With the optional Vienna Instruments Pro player and its auto humanization function, all imaginable nuances and variations are automatically possible by simply playing on the keyboard and the final sound result amazes with a level of authenticity never achieved before.
