The teasers sound like they were recorded in the hall at Air studios. Ignoring the clues but based on the sounds alone, I'm gonna guess that the library will be something along the lines of Fractured Strings with a €299 non-sale price.

That solo violin fragment sounds fantastic, I wonder how playable it will be though (it could well be loop or phrase based).
 


Third teaser with cello and Justin Hurwitz. There are also more numbers:
78.08
20.95
0.93
0.04

Not sure exactly what it is supposed to mean but it adds up to exactly 100 so maybe those are percentages for the different sections of the library? Or it is exactly 100 GB xD

@icecoolpool I can definitely see the comparison to Fractured Strings. I also hope that it will be something very playable still.

The main components of air are 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide.
 
Appassionata Solo Strings please!
Unlikely ..

The previous instagram post was:
1. Tagged 03.01.1926 - George Martins date of birth which does give a nod to a previous air studios and something non-classical \ non-orchestral.

2. Also referenced - @ryanlottmusic of @son_lux, Synthesiser

On that basis, I'd guess something more experimental and contemporary. But I'm wrong most of the time and I suspect this won't be any different.

My guess is that the George Martin clue was meant to throw us a curve ball by pointing to AIR and AR.

Appassionata were recorded in AIR and there's a lot of strings in the teasers. I guess one could point to George Martin's classical schooling.

Anyway, I'm stuck on the idea of a Son Lux Composer Toolkit. But we need more ARO modules soon! I'm specifically longing for solo flute and solo horn!
 
Yeah my thoughts too, I think Spitfire are leaning into a more pop, hybrid direction, so maybe an otherworldly piano with tonnes of verb n stuff. The competition has that, and Spitfire doesn't, so that's my guess..
@GtrString I think you're in the right ballpark with this. If we consider the latest divergence in SA's marketing strategies, tailoring their Bundles to "Pop", "Modern" in particular, which are packaged to be less focused towards screen scoring only. Added to that their latest competition around guitar pedals and effects, again broadening their brand positioning ... IMHO

All will be revealed ......
