Key Features
The Spitfire Audio Originals Cinematic Frozen Strings is a strings virtual instrument plugin that captures intimate and cutting strings using experimental and unique recording techniques. Ideal for composers shaping quiet, textural cues or building subtle movement into atmospheric scores, Cinematic Frozen Strings delivers a distinct raw, icy tone. You get an eight-player section captured at the world-famous AIR Studios, Lyndhurst Hall, giving you a focused set of experimental techniques recorded at the softest levels. These sounds lean into raw bow noise, gentle transitions, and delicate tonal shifts, so you can add tension or calm with very little effort.
Recording the eight-piece with a Super Close microphone signal helps you hear every tiny detail, while the Close and Tree options let you widen or thicken the image as needed. With articulations including flautando, brushed spiccato, col legno, and tremolo variations, you can shape sparse lines, shimmering beds, or brittle movement that sits neatly inside larger arrangements. It also works seamlessly with libraries like Albion NEO, LCO Textures, and Contemporary Drama Toolkit, slotting straight into modern scoring workflows.
Product Ref: 359253
Every articulation has been captured at extremely low dynamics, so the texture stays fragile even when you automate movement. You’ll find long flautando lines, brushed shorts, mandolin plucks, and shifting sul tasto transitions that help you build tension without overwhelming a scene. These techniques respond well to gentle expression changes, giving you a wide emotional range while keeping the overall tone understated. It’s a simple way to introduce character when silence alone isn’t quite enough.
Like all Originals libraries, Cinematic Frozen Strings sits inside a clean, focused interface. You can adjust expression and dynamics with straightforward sliders, and the mod wheel setup is easy to tailor to your workflow. For busy projects, this helps you get ideas down quickly without diving through menus. And because the presets are tightly curated, you spend more time shaping the cue and less time scrolling for the right sound.
This set of recordings complements Albion Tundra particularly well, but it also sits neatly alongside NEO, LCO Textures, and the Contemporary Drama Toolkit. The shared sense of space from AIR Studios helps these libraries merge naturally, giving you a cohesive palette for atmospheric scoring. Whether you’re adding a thin harmonic layer or reinforcing a larger ensemble, the tone stays consistent and easy to place in a mix, helping you build nuanced sound worlds without fighting the source material.
Originals is a collection of intuitive writing tools, meticulously recorded by Spitfire at renowned studios like AIR Studios, one of the most in-demand studios for producing blockbuster soundtracks. Designed to be user-friendly and streamlined, Originals offers a clean interface with sliders for controlling expression and dynamics, alongside a customizable digital mod wheel to fit any workflow. Each Originals library also includes a range of essential articulations, presets, and controls. For those looking to enhance their sound with Spitfire's signature quality at an affordable price, Originals will become your go-to solution.
