Sample quality, full quality after purchaseDescription
The piano in St Peterburg, a soviet Lira, a regular upright piano for home, was in a good shape. While the second one in Moscow was pretty much
dead. It was manufactured in London in 1805, and I could not figure out the manufacturer’s name on front panel because of the archaic font design.
The strings were plucked by metallic tweezers, bowed with a thick glass vase, struck firmly with heavy objects, strained with sticks and excited by vibration speaker.
I was strongly impressed by it’s gritty, dissonant, somewhat sinister sounds. The resulting recorded gestures can be used as sweeteners for horror film impacts, as part of a musical score, as strained metal sound effects.
This high definition library contains recordings made during two sessions – one in St Peterburg and another in Moscow.
