🌌 Vela Woodwinds – The Sound Between the Sea and the Stars 🎶✨

ORIGIN STORY 🌊⭐

Born from the drift between gravity and stillness, Vela Woodwinds is not just a sample library—it’s a sonic journey. Inspired by the Vela constellation (Latin for sail), this instrument doesn’t perform in the traditional sense—it floats.

Where most woodwind libraries emphasize speed, articulation, and orchestral precision, Vela embraces slowness, depth, and atmosphere. Using the organic breath of Bass & Contra Clarinet, we sculpted evolving textures that move not through virtuosity, but through transformation.

At its core lies the Infinite Motion Engine™ and Non-Static Sampling™, technologies that let every note breathe and shift naturally—never looping, always alive. The result? A sound neither fully classical nor ambient, but something weightless in between, drifting seamlessly between oceanic depths and cosmic horizons. 🚀🌊

🎼 Non-Static Sampling™ – Movement That Feels Infinite ♾️

Developed by founder Michael Vignola, Non-Static Sampling™ captures what makes real instruments feel human:

• The subtle shift of breath 🌬️

• The organic wavering of tone 🎵

• The deepening resonance over time 🌑

Instead of freezing a perfect moment, each recording evolves—progressing, growing, and revealing new textures with every sustained note. Combined with the Infinite Motion Engine™, this becomes a generative system that empowers composers to sculpt motion, tension, and emotion in real time.

👤 Meet the Musician

Raymond Brien, British-Canadian clarinetist & composer, lends his artistry to Vela Woodwinds. Renowned for his expressive depth and experimental techniques, Raymond transforms the bass and contra clarinet into something human yet otherworldly. His collaborations with ensembles like Apartment House, Riot Ensemble, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra bring technical mastery and emotional nuance to Vela’s sonic world.
