8dio Mandolin Strummer

The Claire Woodwind Series is a deep-sampled collection of the finest virtuoso woodwind soloists ever sampled. These are highly playable instruments soared with true emotion, effortless and equilibristic behavior. Our Piccolo Flute Virtuoso is the most expressive, playable, and lifelike Bassoon ever sampled. The Piccolo Flute Virtuoso was recorded in a symphonic hall and contains three microphone positions (Close, Decca, Far). The core of the Bassoon is its highly advanced legato system, which contains both slow and fast legato. The legato system allows you to play legato with passionate arcs, sustains, staccatissimo, expressive marcato, and more. We recorded arcs with both non-vibrato, medium and strong vibrato, so you can freely sculpt your performance from the subtle to vibrant. In addition, we also added trills, runs, staccatissimo and even non-tonal effects like breaths, valve sounds, and natural click noises.

The Lyre is an ancient Greek Harp dating back to ancient Mesopotamia (2500BC). The earliest depiction of the seven string Lyre was found in a sarcophagus in Crete (1400BC). The classical Lyre has a soundbox/resonator with two raised arms connected with a cross bar, where the strings are attached.

The Bazantar is a custom five-string acoustic bass, fitted with an additional twenty-nine sympathetic strings and four drone strings. It has a melodic range of over five octaves, with a sympathetic range of four octaves. This results in an interplay between melodic, sympathetic, and drone strings which weaves an unexpected landscape of resonance that is remarkably rich in texture.

'Assembly' showcases carefully curated singles, fan favourites, and archival rarities from the Joe Strummer solo catalogue. This 16-track compilation features three previously unreleased versions of classic Clash tracks, including the never-before-heard 'Junco Partner (Acoustic)' and electrifying live performances of 'Rudie Can't Fail' and 'I Fought the Law', the latter two of which were recorded by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros at London's Brixton Academy on November 24, 2001. George Harrison's passion for introducing the world to new music expressed itself in May of 1974 when he created his own new label - Dark Horse Records. The label contained a variety of talented artists on its roster, including George himself. 'Assembly' marks the first new Joe Strummer title released via the newly relaunched Dark Horse Records.
