Obsidian Brass: A New Era of Atmospheric Sound for Composers

Are you a composer or sound designer searching for a brass library that transcends the ordinary? Welcome to the world of Obsidian Brass, a groundbreaking tool that reimagines the emotional depth and dynamic textures of brass instruments. Powered by innovative technologies like Non-Static Sampling and the Infinite Motion Engine 2.0, this library offers a unique blend of power, fragility, and atmospheric storytelling.

What is Non-Static Sampling?

At the heart of Obsidian Brass lies Non-Static Sampling, a pioneering technique developed by Michael Vignola. Unlike traditional sampling methods that capture a single, static moment of sound, this approach embraces the natural evolution of live instruments. It mirrors the human elements of music—how timbre shifts with breath, how texture vibrates under pressure, and how resonance deepens over time. Every note transforms as it sustains, ensuring that no two moments are identical. This creates a living, breathing soundscape that feels organic and responsive.

Infinite Motion Engine 2.0: Unleashing Creative Control

Paired with the Infinite Motion Engine 2.0, Obsidian Brass becomes a generative system that empowers creators with unparalleled control over time, movement, and emotion. This technology allows sounds to evolve dynamically, offering composers the ability to craft textures that move and adapt in real-time. Whether you’re scoring a sci-fi thriller, a neo-noir masterpiece, or an avant-garde art piece, this tool ensures your brass elements are as expressive as your vision.

Exploring Obsidian Brass: Strength in Fragility

Obsidian Brass stands apart from traditional brass libraries that focus on bold, cinematic impacts. Instead, it delves into the delicate balance between strength and fragility, using live brass recordings to create textures filled with breath, decay, and subtle fractures. Through the lens of sonic erosion and transformation, each sound unfolds uniquely, revealing new layers with every note. This library isn’t about mimicking familiar brass tones; it’s about redefining them as instruments of emotional tension and atmospheric depth.

Ideal for composers and sound designers, Obsidian Brass thrives in genres that demand contrast—dense yet hollow, powerful yet restrained. Its versatility makes it a perfect fit for storytelling across various media, from film scores to ambient soundscapes.

The Artistry of Meredith Moore: A Virtuoso’s Touch

A key contributor to Obsidian Brass is Meredith Moore, an internationally acclaimed horn player whose expressive tone brings unmatched warmth and nuance to this library. With a career spanning classical, film, and contemporary music, Meredith has performed with prestigious ensembles like the London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Philharmonic, and New York City Ballet. Her work on major films such as ‘Thor’ and ‘Brave,’ as well as collaborations with artists like Josh Groban, showcases her remarkable versatility.

Meredith’s mastery of both modern and historic horns infuses Obsidian Brass with intricate details of breath, resonance, and raw emotion. Her contributions provide composers with a rich palette of atmospheric brass textures and narrative possibilities to elevate any composition.
