The Muted Second Voice

Muting the violin does more than tame its brilliance - it invites a different approach, drawing out a warmer, silkier tone.

As the second voice of the muted string quartet, Synchron Solo Violin 2 (sordino) brings its own color and character to the ensemble.

The instrument was performed by Damir Oraščanin, concertmaster of the Vienna Synchron Orchestra, in the large Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage.

Features

  • Solo violin played with a mute
  • Natural flow of captivating performances
  • Same vast arsenal of expressive articulations as Synchron Solo Violin 2
  • Captured on Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage
  • 11 microphone positions
  • Several positions on stage (center, solo, 2nd chair)
  • Perfectly mixed with production-ready presets

A Contrasting Voice, Now Muted

Just as in the original Synchron Solo Strings, Synchron Solo Violin 2 (sordino) is performed by a different artist on a different instrument than Solo Violin 1 - bringing a contrasting tone and feel that makes the muted quartet come alive in dialog and layered expression.

Damir Oraščanin has served as concertmaster of the Vienna Synchron Orchestra since 2020.

Born in Belgrade, he studied in his hometown and at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, has performed as a soloist and chamber musician at the Vienna Musikverein, and holds positions with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra and the Vienna Volksoper.

With the mute in place, his playing reveals a softer, more refined side of the second violin, without losing any of its individual personality.

A Complete Muted Palette

The sampling sessions covered essentially the same comprehensive set of articulations as the original Synchron Solo Violin 1, but every note was recorded with the mute in place.

Short notes include various spiccatos, staccatos, détachés, ricochet, and saltando.

Long notes come with different attacks, releases, and slides.

Legato variants include normal, agile, slurred, portamento, and zigane.

Sforzatos, tremolos, trills, harmonics, and pizzicatos round out the palette.

The Crossfade Editor in the Synchron Player allows for seamless blending between articulations, letting composers shape transitions with the same precision and musicality the original collection is known for - only this time, in a softer, more intimate light.
