The Artful Whistler
Meet the Vienna Whistler: the truly fascinating sounds in this collection were performed by our very own Marcus Schmidinger, an acclaimed horn player who is also a gifted art whistler. During the recordings for various horn and brass libraries, we discovered his talent and his incredibly homogenous timbre over a wide key range of approximately two octaves. As an aside, so-called “art whistlers” echo an Austrian tradition of the 19th century when they would perform in Viennese community theatres, vaudeville shows and cabarets.
Impressive Articulations
Anyone who has tried to whistle once might have noticed that an accurate performance is not easy at all – let alone performing incredible articulations, such as notes with and without vibrato, legatos, portamentos, trills, and even bends and falls. With this collection, this daunting task has become incredibly intuitive and effortless.
Ambient Sounds
Whistled melodies can be very atmospheric. Using the Synchron Player’s reverberation and placement presets you can position the whistler at several spots (left, center, right) in the large hall of our very own scoring stage, Vienna Synchron Stage, with options such as close, classic, and distant. By turning off the internal convolution and algorithmic reverb of the Synchron Player the whistler can be placed in any virtual acoustic environment, from dry closely mic’d settings to large halls, from the authentic natural rooms provided by Vienna MIR Pro 3D to artificial reverb and delay effects.
