口哨的精妙艺术
虽然很多人都把吹口哨当作一种消遣，但要在所有调性与音域中，都能稳定、一致地呈现出达到专业录音水准的声音，其实是一项极其罕见、也极具挑战性的技能——这无疑是一门真正的艺术。
为了致敬这种技艺，我们邀请了一位艺术口哨演奏家来到我们的 Silent Stage 录音。这个相对干声、混响较少的录音空间，提供了理想的背景，让他顺滑而统一的音色得以充分展现。
口哨这种表现方式极其多才多艺，曾为无数在全球引起共鸣的经典旋律画上完美句点。无论你是在为新式意大利西部片风格的主题音乐配乐，还是想为“永远向光明的一面看齐”的旋律增添色彩，这套音源都会一路陪你吹响旋律。

富有艺术感的口哨演奏家
认识 Vienna Whistler。本套音源中那些真正令人着迷的声音，由我们自己的 Marcus Schmidinger 演奏完成——他是一位备受赞誉的圆号演奏家，同时也是一位才华出众的艺术口哨演奏者。
在为多款圆号与铜管音源进行录制的过程中，我们发现了他的特殊才能：在大约两个八度的宽广音域内，依然能够保持极其均匀一致的音色。
顺带一提，所谓的“艺术口哨演奏家”源自 19 世纪奥地利的一项传统，当时他们活跃于**维也纳**的社区剧院、杂耍演出以及歌舞表演场所。
令人惊叹的奏法
任何尝试过吹口哨的人，大概都会意识到：要把音高吹准本身就不容易——更别说演奏诸如带与不带颤音的音符、连音、滑音、颤音（trill），甚至是弯音与下滑音等复杂奏法了。
而通过本套音源，这些原本极具挑战性的表现方式，变得直观而轻松。
空间与氛围音色
口哨旋律往往具有非常浓厚的氛围感。借助 Synchron Player 的混响与摆位预设，你可以将口哨演奏者放置在我们自有配乐录音大厅 Vienna Synchron Stage 的多个位置（左、中、右），并可选择近距、经典或远距等不同拾音风格。
如果关闭 Synchron Player 内置的卷积混响与算法混响，口哨演奏者也可以被放置在任何虚拟声学环境中——从极度干净、近距离拾音的设置，到宏大的音乐厅空间；从 Vienna MIR Pro 3D 所提供的真实自然空间，到各种人工混响与延迟效果，皆可自由搭配。

While many people enjoy whistling as a pastime, achieving a professional, record-ready sound with stability and consistency across all keys and ranges is a rare and challenging skill – truly an art form. To celebrate this mastery, we invited an art whistler to our Silent Stage. This relatively dry recording room provided the ideal backdrop, allowing his smooth and consistent timbre to unfold beautifully. Whistling is incredibly versatile and has added the perfect finishing touch to countless iconic melodies that have resonated with listeners worldwide. Whether you’re scoring the main theme of your neo-spaghetti western or always look on the bright side of life, this collection is here to whistle right along with you.

The Artful Whistler
Meet the Vienna Whistler: the truly fascinating sounds in this collection were performed by our very own Marcus Schmidinger, an acclaimed horn player who is also a gifted art whistler. During the recordings for various horn and brass libraries, we discovered his talent and his incredibly homogenous timbre over a wide key range of approximately two octaves. As an aside, so-called “art whistlers” echo an Austrian tradition of the 19th century when they would perform in Viennese community theatres, vaudeville shows and cabarets.
Impressive Articulations
Anyone who has tried to whistle once might have noticed that an accurate performance is not easy at all – let alone performing incredible articulations, such as notes with and without vibrato, legatos, portamentos, trills, and even bends and falls. With this collection, this daunting task has become incredibly intuitive and effortless.
Ambient Sounds
Whistled melodies can be very atmospheric. Using the Synchron Player’s reverberation and placement presets you can position the whistler at several spots (left, center, right) in the large hall of our very own scoring stage, Vienna Synchron Stage, with options such as close, classic, and distant. By turning off the internal convolution and algorithmic reverb of the Synchron Player the whistler can be placed in any virtual acoustic environment, from dry closely mic’d settings to large halls, from the authentic natural rooms provided by Vienna MIR Pro 3D to artificial reverb and delay effects.
