Fracture Sounds – Blueprint #21: Textural Viola

A collection of four textural viola articulations and a unique Atmosphere Layer designed to inspire.

Textural Viola bridges the gap between the original Textural Violin and its follow-up, Textural Cello. Inspired by techniques developed with composer and Trails collaborator Alexander Parsons, this library features two expressive long articulations, a short col legno, and eerie bend effects. These experimental performances are supported by our signature Atmosphere Layer, transforming raw viola recordings into rich, immersive pad.

Together, all three libraries provide a diverse palette of textures designed to add movement, depth, and subtle complexity- perfect for supporting and enhancing other elements within your composition.
