Berlin Woodwinds | Soloists II - Notes
After the release of Berlin Woodwinds | Soloists I it became apparent that not only did the concept of expressive lyrical solo woodwinds worked beautifully but also that there was so much sonic potential untapped. For Berlin Woodwinds | Soloists II we took the lower woodwinds into the Teldex Solo booth and recorded a generous set of articulations, including Grace Notes for the Bass Clarinet.
Berlin Woodwinds | Soloists II again features special recorded sustained notes: Instead of "flat" sustains, we recorded two styles of each sustain. One with a very light crescendo, one with a very light decrescendo. These are triggered by key velocity and allow very lively playing. To keep the amount of phasing to a minimum, we recorded one sculpted velocity layer that is treated with complex filters to enable dynamic playing.
