Folk Fiddle

'Folk Fiddle' from Organic Loops is a collection of marvellous strings intertwined to weave a tapestry of heartfelt melodies and rustic charm, ready to bring your compositions to life at a tempo range of 85-115 BPM. Performed by Ben Weedon with production and recording by Michael Tedstone, 'Folk Fiddle' includes a selection of clean and ornamented string phrases from English, Irish, and Scottish folk tunes, alongside chords and riffs to accompany these tunes and useful notes and harmony phrases to complement them.

The pack provides a large range of lengths from short, muted notes to full melody phrases and sustained tones. Picked patterns and some extra bowed instruments such as a balalaika have also been included for more wild and expressive textures.

Recorded on an old 1840s French violin, a modern English 5-string violin, and a modern English viola hand-crafted by Ben in his workshop, using a combination of an AKG 414 ULS and a Neumann U87. The samples are provided in their dry state to preserve the unique character of each instrument and provide a rare opportunity for producers to bring the flavour of live strings into their work.
