Vienna Instruments Elements presents a rich collection inspired by natural materials like water, metal, glass, and stone, expanding on the acclaimed Horizon Series Glass & Stones edition. The library introduces unique instruments such as the bass waterphone, distinguished by its large 14-inch diameter and enhanced design. With more sounding rods, extended lengths, a larger resonating body, and increased water volume, this instrument delivers a broader range of expressive sounds and textures compared to traditional waterphones.

Among the standout instruments is the oversized tam-tam, measuring over 65 inches in diameter, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and inspired by avant-garde works like Stockhausen's "Mikrophonie." This tam-tam offers a dynamic range of sonic possibilities through various playing techniques, including striking with metal rods, cardboard, and jigsaw blades, as well as rubbing with chains and other unconventional tools. The collection also includes blown bottles featuring articulations such as sustains and flutter tonguing, enhancing the palette of sounds available for creative exploration.

The extensive 18 GB Elements Collection further encompasses a diverse set of glass instruments, including glass bells, musical glasses, a glass harmonica, a verrophone, and a five-octave lithophone. These carefully sampled instruments provide rich, resonant tones that inspire composers and sound designers seeking distinctive textures. Vienna Instruments Elements serves as an exceptional resource for crafting evocative soundscapes and adding unique natural timbres to any musical project.
