Transcending the boundaries of choral performance, experience the human voice in a completely new light. 245 all-new emotive, dynamic techniques performed by 19 world-class singers, captured at AIR Studios with 11 pristine signals - pushed to breathtaking new extremes in Spitfire's inspiring Evo Grid and game-changing synth engine.
Curated by Grammy-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre, Contrast allows you to build evocative, evolving atmospheres - from visceral human vibrations to otherworldly shimmering beauty - with texture, tone and pitch evolving beneath your fingertips in subtle and dramatic shifts, subject to your own curation. The Evo Grid offers instant inspiration, creating rich, dissonant, multi-layered textures, while the eDNA synth engine transports the organic material into the electronic realm. Recombine techniques to create new hybrid vocal textures, and explore a bespoke range of warps and editable presets - plus a stunning set of bespoke presets from three acclaimed sound artists (Ryan Lott, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith & Clark), with a sophisticated range of in-built controls and FX.
A living, breathing machine of sonic metamorphosis opening the door to limitless sound design possibilities for any genre or setting - from media composition to contemporary electronic music.
At the heart of the library are 245 experimental techniques performed by 19 members of the Eric Whitacre Singers (Soprano 5, Alto 5, Tenor 4, Bass 5) recorded with a comprehensive range of mic positions in the stunning acoustics of AIR Studios, home of countless blockbuster scores. Each technique, curated with the awe-inspiring expertise and precision of Eric Whitacre, is presented with two contrasting tones - 'Light' and 'Dark' - Light created with an open vowel shape, and Dark with a closed vowel shape. This seemingly subtle change creates a completely different tone and timbre. The techniques themselves aptly named fragments, shards, divergences, murmuring, prisms - have been carefully curated to subtly (and sometimes dramatically) dance and move beneath your fingertips, moving at different intervals and through varying shifts in dynamic, tone, and pitch.
The eDNA synth engine moves these stunning choral performances into the electronic sphere to create rich, multi-tonal synth textures that haunt and glisten, offering limitless inspiration whether you're a pop producer, beat maker, sound designer, or composer writing your next sci-fi, horror or game score.
