Prepared Piano Series
In this pack you will find two unique, organic and beautiful Kontakt prepared piano libraries recorded on the same piano with same microphones and recording techniques. Both have same original sound. Inspirations? John Cage, Krzysztof Penderecki, George Crumb, sonorists, avant-gardists and minimialists.
Differences? In short:
– Avant-Gardist: Tonally Prepared Cinematic Piano is a unique huge playable library for melodies, harmonies and textures. It has VERY unusual, organic and beautiful sound. It is our best instrument so far! Click here to read more.
– Preparist: Piano Percssion is a much smaller instrument made of 88 round robin percussive and fx articulations sampled in a handy one-patch instrument (also comes as a sample pack with WAV files). Click here to read more.

These are opinions musicians wrote on VI Control forum and in DM:
“Hi, I usually don’t write to sample library companies but I had to contact you to say that your Avant-Gardist prepared piano library is simply exquisite!!! I have most prepared piano libraries that are available and yours is uniquely beautiful and playable. Bravo! Thanks and merci! Judith Gruber-Stitzer”
“Incredible library indeed! Very unique, fills the spot between edgy and experimental / musical and aesthetic. Most libraries are heavily on the one of the other side”
“I just had to post on VI-Control — I haven’t enjoyed a new plug in this much for a long, long time!”
“Just wanted to say that Avant Gardist really is something special (…). Somehow I get the impression that you’d manage to conjure up new, & completely unique sounds unlike anything else available „
“I really love the hard work you put into your libraries and I will also be a fan. I have Sticks and this piano and I’m looking forward to getting Shhh the next time it’s on sale”
“This is the most fun I’ve had with a piano in years…”
“I really love the hard work you put into your libraries and I will also be a fan. I have Sticks and this piano and I’m looking forward to getting Shhh the next time it’s on sale.”
“We did a quick run thru and it’s just fantastic! So cool, so dramatic, just perfect for our music. Thanks for your great sounds! Look forward to hearing your future creations!”
