Sonic Brushstrokes for Cinematic Canvases
Impressionism – 92 Instrument Combos, Three-Phase Textures & Mod-Wheel Dynamics for Emotion-Driven Scoring

Impressionism captures the essence of Impressionist art through fluid, evolving performances recorded at London’s Air Studios. Each note unfolds in three phases: a percussive attack, a swelling mid-section, and a sustained "brushstroke," all customizable via intuitive controls. The library’s Diverge function adds layers of flutes, harps, and strings with mod-wheel movement, while Scale Mode ensures harmonic coherence. Designed for composers seeking organic textures, it includes unconventional articulations (trills, atonal clusters) and 3.7GB of meticulously recorded samples for cinematic, ambient, and hybrid scoring :cite[1]:cite[4]:cite[8].
Sonic brushstrokes for your next blank canvas
A love letter to 150 years of Impressionist art, our latest creation offers a brightly hued palette of instrumental sounds to inspire your next masterpiece. Designed to be your track-one go to, Impressionism enlivens the blank canvas under impasto daubs of brass; pastel washes of strings and woodwinds, shimmering touches of harps and vibraphones; and fine-tipped trills, clouds, and atonal clusters — all layered in with the turn of a mod wheel.
“Just as we have our own particular emotions, so we
have our own beauty.”
Charles Baudelaire
Comprising uniquely expressive performances from some of the UK’s leading instrumentalists, Impressionism’s sounds overflow with vibrant shades of emotion. Unorthodox combinations of instruments swirl together, with each note evolving across three distinct phases to create fluid, delicate brushstrokes of sound.
Impressionism is less a means for applying fine detail and finishing touches to your music than a powerful toolkit for quickly and directly capturing the emotions that inspire it. It is a totally unique toolkit for creating beautiful musical shapes, textures and gestures.
