Sonora Cinematic has released Cinema Brass, the third volume in the Transfigured Orchestra series for Audiomodern’s free sampler platform, Soundbox.
Where Transfigured Orchestra Volumes 1 and 2 featured brass as a supporting colour within a wider ensemble, Volume 3 puts it firmly centre stage.
Flugelhorn, solo French horn, trumpets and trombones step into the spotlight across 25 carefully crafted presets – from traditional, instantly recognisable orchestral sounds through to abstract, ambient and sound design territory.
Brass recordings were also sampled through digital hardware that creates accurate models of vintage samplers and other effect processors. Sonora Cinematic says the result is a selection of presets with a gritty, lo-fi character, full of digital artefacts and vintage charm which opens up some surprising creative possibilities.
Designed for composers and sound designers who need brass that carries emotional weight, Cinema Brass’ dark, foreboding textures and suspenseful, tension-laden tones are built for the moments where a score has to hold the room. It’s equally at home in the hands of music producers looking to add impact to dark ambient and electronic tracks.
Transfigured Orchestra Vol 3: Cinema Brass is available for £15 until 5th June, or get all three volumes in the new Transfigured Orchestra Bundle – also at a reduced price.
