A new mockup from the Skyrim-universe. It's been three (!) years since I attempted it last time, and since then I have learned a lot and completely redone my template. Enjoy!

Mockup: "Far Horizons" | TESV | Orchestral Template 2021

We wanted to share some of the progress on our Orchestral Strings by means of this impression.
As it stands, the instruments are in a very good state, which allowed the demo composers to get to work and got us comments like these:
‘I love the sound we can get out of this instrument.’
‘Inspired today by your progress on the strings, I decided to use the two violin sections in a current project - even in beta form. The tone was so compelling that I replaced tracks from using other respectable libraries. ’
‘When I experimented by combined the strings with the phrase libraries today, I was blown away. The cohesion was immediate, and magical.’
The issues the NKS team at NI found in their checks were minor and have been fixed already.
However, having had the instruments put through the wringer seriously in the beta phase, and knowing the standards we want to and have to achieve in this competitive market, where there are so many excellent products already, we decided to take a breather and avoid a rushed release.
We need a couple more months to implement all of our beta team’s findings and suggestions, some of which came in at the end of the composing phase, and turn this into the head-turner it deserves to be.
Since this sample library is one of the most complex structures we have ever created we hope you will bear with us a little longer:)
Thanks for hanging in there with us! We’re passionate about getting this right and providing you with a tool that will elevate your music and inspire you to create.' Audio only: https://soundcloud.com/sonokinetic/orchestral-strings-pre-release-cinematic-demo

Orchestral Strings - Pre Release Cinematic Demo

Hi guys. I hope everyone is well. This piece of music was inspired by the thrilling painting, "The Wild Hunt Of Odin", painted in 1872 by Peter Nicolai Arbo. So I tried to come up with some equally thrilling music, where I took Wagner as my inspiration. I hope you enjoy it!

Evanescent - Alex Pfeffer (Gravity)

Cinematic neoclassical collection exploring the wide spectrum of human stories, flowing between hope, warmth, inspiration, and moments of emotional weight and dramatic endings. Reflecting the many emotions and experiences that shape everyone's life, each track carries a sense of momentum, capturing both the everyday and the extraordinary with sincerity and depth and creating an evocative soundscape where every piece tells its own story.

Lightborn Horizon

under a billion of stars 2

A Quiet Arrival is an original cinematic orchestral composition built around emotional arcs rather than excess.

The music focuses on the balance between tension and release, allowing dynamics and orchestration to unfold naturally.
It moves gradually from restrained, intimate moments toward a fuller, layered orchestral expression — without losing its sense of calm and control.

This piece was written as a standalone instrumental score, inspired by film music and the expressive possibilities of a modern orchestral palette.

A Quiet Arrival

My Entry for the Global Composers Network Scoring Competition.

The brief was to create a track that would accompany a genius female protagonist as she delves deeper into her mind, discovering new and exciting things.
