🎻 Small but Mighty Strings

The beating heart of Novella Origin is its 9-piece string ensemble, offering true legato, dozens of articulations, and beautifully balanced ensemble chords.

• 4 independent sections (Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses)

• Vivid Legato & Improvisations for natural, emotional movement

• Pre-orchestrated chords for instant cinematic harmony

• Arco, Flautando, Sul Pont, Spiccato & Picks articulations

💫 Recorded in place with Close, Room, and Gallery mics, the strings sound natural, cohesive, and ready to mix right out of the box.

👥 Folk-Inspired Voices – The Foils

Bring your score to life with the intimate, human touch of four alto folk singers, including Maddie Morris (BBC Young Folk Award Winner) and Iona Lane.

• Improvised performances with real-time control

• Dynamic vowel transitions (Aah–Ooh, Mmm–Aah)

• Chatters & percussive shorts for tension and motion

🎶 Add the sound of humanity, warmth, and raw emotion to any track.

🎸 Electric Guitar – Pickup Six

⚡ The edge of breakup, the soul of rock.
An Eb-tuned electric guitar, recorded through a vintage all-valve combo amp, delivers smooth sustain, rich harmonics, and cinematic texture.

• Single-coil neck pickup tone

• Unmeasured thumb & pick layers for lush soundscapes
  Perfect for melodic leads, ambient scoring, or emotional rhythm parts.

🎹 Cotton Upright Piano – Gentle Yet Giant

A Yamaha U3 recorded with a cotton sheet between hammers and strings — producing a soft, open tone that blends effortlessly with other instruments.

• Includes Pedal Down and Dust Piano variations

• Perfectly imperfect tuning for that emotive, storytelling character
  🎧 Whether solo or layered, it feels vintage, organic, and deeply cinematic.
