Voice Of Gaia: Bryn

Voice Of Gaia: Bryn is an eclectic male tenor solo vocal library featuring the talents of Bryan Lane (aka “Bryn”). While trained in operatic vocal techniques, his personal style draws from a broad range of older vocal traditions, inspired equally by Middle-Eastern and American Spiritual and Gospel music. He delivers a dark, passionate intensity to his performances that will captivate you. This library, at over 6GB and 7816 samples, offers deep content variety and exceptional user flexibility.

We recorded Bryn in a close studio environment, using premium low-noise large-diaphragm Neumann microphones and Sound Devices preamps to capture maximum detail, clarity, and fidelity. We captured true legato vowel sustains for Ah, Oo, Humming (“mmm”), and Whistling. Additionally, we recorded classic chromatic sustains for Oh and a gliding-attack vibrato Uh vowel, as well as staccatos for Ah, Oh, Oo, Uh, Humming, and Whistling. Most of this chromatic content spans a natural key range from D2—D4 (extended from C2—G4).

Voice of Gaia: Bryn features a huge collection of live melodic phrases in classic “Pure Vowel”, Middle-Eastern, and American Southern gospel and spiritual styles. Each of the main phrase categories includes a full selection of phrases for each key (A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, G, and G#). Additionally, there’s a general selection of whistling phrases in E/B major and improvised Arabian-styled chants rooted in E/B minor. Each phrase preset offers pitch transposition control, tempo-synching, step sequencing, song switching, and dozens of other custom control features. We’ve also included our comprehensive FX Rack panel, with multi-effects, compression, EQ, amp/speaker simulation, and convolution reverb, featuring dozens of our most popular custom recorded rooms, halls, cathedrals, and otherworldly FX impulses, all easily available through the control interface.
