Hello friends,

We are Strezov Sampling - a team of composers, musicians, engineers and music lovers based in Sofia, Bulgaria. We have developed a handful of sample libraries since our launch in December 2012, starting with our first project released – “Storm Choir”: the epic chamber choir.

What Storm sounds like ('Starchild' by Ivan Torrent) 

Since the release of Storm Choir, we've received lots of amazing emails from you – our customers – and we've compiled a big list of feedback. With all this under consideration, we're planning to go back and create an all-new sequel: entirely new recordings, features, and content in a newly renovated, superior recording space.

To make this a reality, we are asking you to help us out by supporting us in this revolutionary crowd fund project for Storm Choir II !

• EXTEND THE RANGE OF THE SINGERS

WOMEN: G3-C6
MEN: E2-A4

• RECORD MULTIPLE DYNAMICS

We aim to record three dynamic layers, from a soothing pp up to a very bold fff (more aggressive than last time)

• MORE SYLLABLES 

We plan on increasing the syllable count to more than 20 (compared to five in Storm I) and building in our Chant Creator programming, so that you can build sentences inside Kontakt.

• TRUE LEGATO

We want to record true legato for each section, with two dynamic layers.

• BETTER PLAYABILITY

With more recording time there will enough time to finesse each of the takes and repeat until the best results have been achieved. One of the big playability issues from Storm I was looser attacks, which made it harder to play faster, more thematic material. This will be addressed in Storm II with tighter, more playable attacks.

• VARIOUS FX

Rise crescendos, clusters, male and female shouts and more.

• WHISPER STACCATO SYLLABLES

• LOOPED SUSTAINS

• EVERYTHING DOUBLETRACKED

Your contributions will help cover:

- musician fees (we'll make sure that the talented singers get much higher than usual for the incredible amount of hard work they are going to do)
- hall booking (rehearsals and recording)
- engineer fee (plus backend percentage of each sale)
- equipment rent
- programmer fee (plus backend percentage of each sale)
- designer fee (plus backend percentage of each sale)
- editor fee
- catering (the singers need to eat and drink!) 

ETA of Storm II release: within four months of campaign success.

Final Storm II pricing: to-be-announced, although the preorders offer a vast discount.

From Sofia, Bulgaria,

THANK YOU!

George Strezov (Strezov Sampling)
