NON-STATIC sAMPLING™

MOVEMENT THAT FEELS INFINITE

Non-Static Sampling™ is an approach developed by founder Michael Vignola that introduces a constantly evolving and unpredictable quality into a sonic environment, adding depth and realism. Rather than simply relying on a short and static predetermined sample, this technique infuses each note sampled with subtle and unique variations in the performance over a very long period of time which preserves the natural complexity and richness of live instrumentation. This keeps the listener engaged and the performance feeling fresh, emotive, and dynamic. We believe when combining this technique with our Infinite Motion Engine™ we have created a powerful and innovative new tool that allows users to instantly elevate their audio productions to new levels of authenticity and artistry.

“More amazing sounds from Emergence Audio with their Viola Textures. All their libraries sit proudly in my template and are a continual source of pleasure and inspiration. Great to have everything in one patch (with snapshots) and there is so much fun to have with the GUI. Highly recommended!“

DAVID BUCKLEY COMPOSER

THE SANDMAN (NETFLIX), JASON BOURNE, NOBODY, THE GOOD FIGHT

"I find the Emergence Audio instruments to be a breath of fresh air in the realm of sampled strings. There’s a level of emotion and texture in these sounds that I find to be incredibly inspiring and real. They’re now an indispensable part of my writing template."

ATLI ÖRVARSSON COMPOSER

SILO (Apple TV), The Hitman's Bodyguard, Defending Jacob (Apple TV)

"Emergence Audio instruments have become a daily source of inspiration and a go-to in my work as a composer. Textures, pads, and pulses that have life and blend perfectly with live instrumentation. Evocative and beautiful in their simplicity. Sounds with a heartbeat. Emergence Audio has created a set of libraries that sound like nothing else out there."

OUR VIOLIST

Elise Frawley, a New York-based violist, excels in performing and recording classical, contemporary, and pop music. Her extensive performance history includes collaborations with numerous orchestras such as the Orchestra of St. Luke's, American Ballet Theatre, American Symphony Orchestra, Albany Symphony, New Haven Symphony, and Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic. She co-founded the contemporary chamber ensemble Atlantic Collective and forms half of a viola/piano duo with renowned pianist Nuno Marques. Elise's television appearances span Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show, The Late Show, Live from Here, America's Got Talent, and Amazon Prime's Mozart in the Jungle. Her collaborations in the music industry are equally impressive, having worked with artists like Paul Simon, St. Vincent, Danger Mouse, Alessia Cara, and many others. An alumna of the Manhattan School of Music and NYU, where she also taught as an Adjunct Instructor of Viola, Elise currently teaches at the 92nd Street Y, Trinity School, and Killington Music Festival in Vermont.
