Product Overview
World Strings – Harp is a string instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt, recorded in a world-class scoring stage and designed for cinematic and compositional use. Developed in collaboration with Emily Granger, the library places special emphasis on prepared harp techniques, alongside traditional performance, glissandi, and motion articulations.
The harp is one of the world’s oldest string instruments, used across many musical traditions. This library expands that lineage by combining familiar harp sounds with a broader, more exploratory palette shaped by preparation and extended playing approaches.
