A couple of years ago, we wondered how we could make a library that could encapsulate the most important human emotions, those that drive us to act the way we do, what makes us human. After some research, we discovered the Plutchik Wheel, which would summarize human emotions in a wheel, relating them by proximity and similarities. We decided we could use this information to create a library that could help you create pieces aimed to make listeners feel such emotions, however, we wanted to offer more… so we decided to have these emotions in MultiSample form, in Pads and in Rhythmic loops, that way, you would be able to choose exactly HOW to drive your listeners towards an emotional level. Emotional Guitars took over two years to produce with several months of recording sessions fine-tuning the guitar tones and making sure that each sample speaks from the heart.

After narrowing down the project, we decided to make this library only with guitars, to try and make the musician recording these emotions CREATE them with his hands, craft every single note with his art and not merely sound design. This is how Emotional Guitars was born – from the hands and inspiration of one musician (with a lot of guitars) to your fingertips. We loved working on this project, and we are sure it will become an army knife of reaching quick results for you. Emotional Guitars Multi-Samples is our new volume to this unique collection, which features rhythmic phrases, pads, and traditional multi-sampled guitars. It truly has never been this easy to score with such emotion and such accuracy. Any situation, any time.

Emotional Guitars: Multi-Samples is the 2nd volume, including ‘Emotional Guitars Rhythms’ (Available Soon) and ‘Emotional Guitars Pads‘ which feature both rhythmic phrases/loops, and custom pads all designed with a single guitar. It truly has never been this easy to score with such emotion and such accuracy. Any situation, any time.

What is the Plutchik's Wheel? Psychologist Robert Plutchik theorized that there are eight primary emotions joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, anticipation, anger, and disgust. The Plutchik’s wheel illustrates eight primary emotions and 24 complimentary emotions. This tool not only demonstrates the emotions that relate to one another but also show you the emotions that are polar opposites. This is invaluable information for composers. Using this tool helps bring clarity to emotions, which can sometimes feel mysterious and overwhelming.

Thirty-two articulations, each one crafted from recording to editing to make the listener feel something specific – the artistry and expertise of the musician was not only in recording a guitar but making it drive towards a specific feeling. Each of the multi-sampled emotions will allow you to create lead lines with special colors, which will help you emphasize a specific emotional response on your listeners.

There is an extensive range of emotions that we, as humans, can feel, and as Composer/Sound Designers, it is our job to be able to sonically capture these emotions accurately. We have closely followed the Plutchik’s Wheel to not only capture the core eight emotions (Ecstasy, Admiration, Terror, Amazement, Grief, Loathing, Rage, and Vigilance), but all 32 subcategories of emotions, so whatever your composing needs are, you can be certain Emotional guitars has the perfect sound for you.
