Fracture Sounds' new library, Arco, is now available! This is a bowed and plucked piano ensemble, recorded in a beautiful concert hall with a range of inspiring articulations, and packaged into an easy-to-use interface for instant playability.

This is the first time a bowed piano ensemble has been sampled, and after working on it for over a year, we're delighted to finally release it.

Oh, some really cool sounds there. Looking forward to hearing more!

sounds great - any chance you'd like to release it today? (I am a sucker for prepared piano and it's kin!)

Thanks both!

Let me know if you have any questions!

ok, digging through the couch cushions NOW!

The demos are remarkable, this will be a very nice addition to my other oddball piano libraries! Not sure how you did it, but it is different enough from the others to be a worthwhile purchase!

Well done!!

Bought it and it sounds great. Well done Will

Thanks everyone! I'm really pleased with the response so far.
Yesterday we added a new demo by Matt Hawken, which I just LOVE. It makes use of a lot of Arco's articulations - Bowed sustains, plucks, tremolos, spiccatos and glissandi. Check it out:


And here's a 'naked' version, featuring exclusively Arco.
