Whispers of a Felt-Dampened Soul
Felt Piano – Gwilym Simcock’s Performance, 10 Presets & Vintage Mic Textures for Ethereal Storytelling

Originals Felt Piano captures the nuanced warmth of a felt-dampened upright piano, meticulously recorded dry at Spitfire Studios with jazz virtuoso Gwilym Simcock. Three mic signals — Condenser (crisp clarity), Ribbon (vintage warmth), and Hammers (mechanical intimacy) — provide tonal versatility, while presets like Piano Pad (ambient washes) and Marcato Attack (articulate phrasing) expand creative possibilities. With ADSR controls, sustain pedal adjustments, and extended dynamics options, it bridges raw acoustic character with modern sound design.
