![]() The intimacies of players' individual performances were captured using hyper-focussed spot mics, whilst a range of mics placed throughout the Wood Room captured its sophisticated resonances. These can be combined to create a full-spectrum dynamic mix with a deep tonal range. Recorded in the rich, warm acoustics of the Wood Room at Real World Studios and utilizing ensembles of three players per instrument, the recordings of Landforms are all about emphasizing focus and detail while still maintaining the magic of the ensemble. ![]() ![]() The core library comes packed with a deeply versatile collection of factory content, with more than 200 base multisampled articulations split across the families of the orchestra. Strings are broken down into individual trios of bass, cello and violin. The woodwinds section consists of a low ensemble of baritone saxophone, contrabassoon and bass clarinet a high ensemble of oboe, clarinet and bassoon and a trio of flutes. Brass consists of a low trombone section and a high ensemble of trumpet and flugelhorn. As well as this, articulations taken from sessions with a solo violinist and flautist are included. Influenced by the forms and textures of the natural world, articulations were curated and produced with specific compositional intentions. Phrases that fuse together rhythmically and movements that overlap unpredictably to create progressive textural evolutions, mirroring the slowly building intensity of rising tides, the harmonic refractions of rippling water. ![]() Landforms is more than just an orchestral sample library. It's a complex orchestral sound design environment. While conventional orchestral libraries statically reproduce the traditional sounds of the orchestra, Landforms embraces the unique possibilities and idiosyncrasies of working orchestral samples. The focus is not only on the performance of beautiful acoustic textures. It's about pushing these textures through layers of unique processing to create constantly shifting, abstract collages of sound. It's rooted in the orchestral domain, but feels simultaneously alien and unique. Description : LANDFORMS CHANGES ORCHESTRA PERSPECTIVES Landforms offers a bold new approach to working with orchestral samples. Part sampler, part synthesizer, he takes texture recordings inspired by the movements and shapes of nature and reimagines them in a multi-dimensional sound design environment. ![]()
