Spitfire Audio – Spitfire Swarms

Experience the shimmering cascades of nine harps, the resonant warmth of an orchestra of marimbas and the subtle interplay of 18 mandolins, charangos and ukuleles. Spitfire Swarms create choirs of rare instruments at Air Studios Lyndhurst Hall to create ghostly tremolos, epic glissandos, complex rhythmic patterns and soaring melodic lines.

Previously available as separate libraries, the ethereal textures of Harp Swarm , the percussive choir of Marimba Swarm, and the chaotic beauty of Mandolin Swarm are now available as a single, consolidated library.

The concept of Spitfire Swarms is inspired by pointillism in neo-impressionist painting, which uses individual tiny dots that blend together in the viewer’s eye to create a full spectrum of hues. This technique, developed by Georges Seurat in 1886, is reflected here: individual short notes merge in the listener’s ears, creating the impression of long, continuous tones and revealing the magnificent textures of cinematic sound design.
