Complete software
GYPSY / RA / SILK BUNDLE is designed to enrich your productions with traditional world instruments and evocative cinematic sounds. Whether you compose for picture (film, TV, game audio), trailer music, ambient, organic electro, or pop, this bundle helps you create credible geographical and historical atmospheres, expressive solo themes, or unusual rhythmic and melodic layers. The goal is simple: to achieve an instantly recognizable "elsewhere" texture while maintaining a workflow compatible with studio standards.
Gypsy focuses on nuanced performances of typical instruments from a traveling musicians' ensemble. The work on transitions, finger playing, and expression aims for a feel close to a live take. Thanks to its articulations, round robin, and true legato, you avoid the "machine gun" effect and obtain smooth lines, ideal for themes, accompaniments, and counter-melodies.
RA gathers a wide palette of instruments from many regions: Africa, Europe, Middle East and Turkish Empire, India, Far East, Americas, and Australia. The library lets you choose between very controlled playing or recorded phrases that unfold naturally, useful for quickly building a coherent and organic soundscape.
Silk focuses on China, India, and Persia, with bowed, plucked strings, and winds performed by expert musicians. Recordings were made with vintage Neumann microphones at EastWest Studios. Between a wide choice of articulations, recorded legato, and complete phrases, you quickly assemble a credible ensemble with a timeless character, produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix.
