Recorded in in the chapel of St. John’s Anglican Church, Hearth and Hollow Folk Voices presents an authentic and intimate vocal session synonymous with indie folk. Created with Hunter Rogerson, this VST focuses on the texture and tonality of real people’s sounds, highlighting the warmth and unique character of each singer’s voice.
Hunter brought together two of his closest friends to create a library that reflected the natural textures and tones of indie folk music. Four arrangeable vocal cues with 11 articulations and 8 mixes, chosen to fit comfortably into your arrangements. Mix this library with folk ensemble Hearth and Hollow Plucked for an authentic acoustic sound.
Willow is a solo singer in the upper range of Lilly Furfaro. Pure, real, soft vocals, shining like a ray of sunshine.
Juniper – A double tracked vocal by Hunter Rogerson – high falsetto.
Hawthorn – solo singer Chase Noseworthy – deep range. With a certain hoarseness, reminiscent of the honey whiskey he always carries in his flask.
Forest is a beautiful duet between Lilly Furfaro and Chase Noseworthy, singing together in octaves when the flask is already empty.
