“With Bunker Strings Nielsen’s aim is not to pursue ultimate realism, but to explore the possibilities of real performances within the virtual domain….All articulations are separately performed by violins, violas, cellos and basses, with well‑programmed ensemble patches providing playable full‑range options throughout. I enjoyed these samples and found them to be an inspiring alternative to conventional string collections — it’s good to know something positive can come out of a bunker!”

“While playing through the samples, the first thought that comes to mind is ‘creativity’; both in how the library was conceived, in addition to how it inspires. There is an inherent ‘rawness’ to the samples that gives the library a sincere human-feel and the eclectic sounds definitely encourage improvisation while exploring new musical ideas… When playing through the different nki’s, it is clear that a lot of editing went in to creating this pioneering library….

…In a business where composers are constantly striving to create and shape their original sound, Bunker Strings Vol. I does just that and absolutely delivers on its promises of a unique, innovative string sample library. A very cool library for any media composer looking to add some distinctive string textures and techniques to their palette!”

“Looking to add flair or something a little bit different to your string writing? Bunker Strings Vol. 2 is an absolute joy to play. Bunker Sample follows up their off-beat, contemporary Bunker Strings Vol. 1 with the second installment with longs and pizzicato playing….

The key point for me is these libraries ooze character and identity and this really can help me set my composing apart from others.For the money, you get a large range of articulations and Bunker Strings Vol 2 comes highly recommended!”
