Orchestral Tools / Opaline

[Piet De Ridder]

"Opaline is aimed at producers and composers looking to capture the flavor of the lo-fi beat making movement with three perfectly attuned elements – warm electric rhythm guitar, soft legato trumpet, and evocative falsetto vocals – combined to create a palette of calm but playful sounds perfect for adding a jazzy, introspective flavor to any musical production.

Opaline's three single instruments and organic percussion elements were carefully selected to complement each other for the chill, but playful ambiance of a casual jam session. The rhythm guitar captures the warm yet articulate chording of the neck pickup of a solid body electric guitar in a variety of mic positions. The trumpet was captured at its softest, providing airy legato tones perfect for leads but with enough experimental articulations available to keep things inspiring. Finally the selection of vocal sounds are available in both a low register and in falsetto to add the perfect amount of texture to any arrangement. All sounds were captured with the same quality and attention to detail as Orchestral Tools' flagship orchestras, allowing for total control and a flexible range of options."

We design our Creative Soundpacks to evoke very specific moods or scenes with intriguing combinations of sonic flavors. Sometimes these moods can be very abstract. With Opaline, our goal was to evoke a relaxed indie jazz band in late summer. Opaline is perfect for lo-fi hip hop, contemporary singer songwriting, or as the backdrop to bohemian drama."
