🎶 Barker Clarinet – Expressive True Legato Clarinet Library 

Barker Clarinet is a deeply expressive true legato clarinet library, performed by renowned conductor and educator Joshua Barker and meticulously recorded at Orb Studios in Austin, Texas. Designed for composers who demand realism and emotion, this library delivers an agile, cinematic clarinet sound that truly breathes and sings. ✨

Every performance was captured with natural, progressive vibrato, allowing the instrument to warm organically as phrases evolve. This approach expands the clarinet’s emotional range, making it ideal for intimate storytelling, lyrical passages, and dramatic scoring alike. 🎼

To ensure maximum versatility, Barker Clarinet features multiple purpose-built patches, each tailored for specific musical contexts:

🎭 Emotional Patch – Subtle, delicate vibrato with a fragile yet confident tone, perfect for heartfelt and introspective moments.
⚙️ Workhorse Patch – A nimble, mezzo-forte clarinet designed for traditional writing, upbeat cues, and everyday orchestral use.
🔥 Fat Lead Patch – Bold and expressive, originally conceived as a companion to Sasaki Trumpet and Austin Saxes, yet equally powerful for soaring melodic lines and dramatic, high-impact scoring.
💨 Breaths Patch – Authentic short and long inhales captured in detail, adding realism and helping performances feel truly alive.

Whether you’re scoring film, TV, games, or concert music, Barker Clarinet offers a refined balance of realism, emotion, and flexibility—making it an essential clarinet library for modern composers seeking expressive depth and musical authenticity. 🎬🎻
