Minimalism

These collections are some of our personal recommendations for composers to draw from when the score calls for a touch more nuance and subtlety.

Gentle wind instruments

In addition to its felt and pure piano patches, Patina offers a variety of pads and plucks that are a great place to start for minimalistic scores. Abacus is a treasure trove of vintage children's instruments, which can add an innocent or sinister character in your minimalist pieces. Salu is a collection of close-up, intimate, experimental instruments and textures—perfect for saying a lot through very little. TIME micro is an exercise in the power of being understated. The gentle wind instruments of Whisper are perfect for creating a bed of ethereal tones and atmospheric harmonies.
