Morning Dove White is one of my favorite albums, and Fallen one of the most
lovely of the wonderful album. 💙

Got it and already used it. It's to know how my "boss" in L.A. for a major music source company responds when I share cues with him. (I compose lots of jazzish "noir" cues based on the many thrillers and mysteries I narrate for audiobooks....) Keep up the good work. Christian...you have a great crew!

[DavidD-Device]

Used it in the new album. Thanks so much!

Purchasing today. Already have String Murmurations and Gestures, 001 Demon Drums. All are incredible and fit in my cues...

Absolute gold dust of an interview. Can't wait to buy this library. How long will it stay at £59 so I can annoy my bank manager?

[wolfunplugged]

after seeing that interview I get interested in the library.

Great interview! - I was waiting for that rain falling outside the window to be beautifully soundtracked by Dot's sample library.... isn't there a "raindrops" preset?

[Thr-Words]

Heart Shaped Scars was a gorgeous album, but I didn't know she's released more since then

Go listen to Fallen by One Dove, the chords are very similar to Come Together by Primal Scream that Andy Weatherall produced and co-wrote. He even took some of the percussive elements too. Total steal as they say in the music biz, but you can't copyright chord progressions.
