Pacific Ensemble Strings

Pacific Blend Tests (full orchestra)

This one is PACIFIC for strings, AWP for the solo flute, a bit of ABP-Soloists and a custom solo bone patch for brass, the solo strings here and there are from a Voyage solo string addendum (haven't decided if I will release these particular solo strings), and the percussion is from a pre-alpha of Voyage Percussion (marimba, glock, gran casa, shakers, castanets, claves, etc). The harp is one of the harps from Voyage Strings.

These are still the unfinessed pre-alpha Pacific Strings here.

Unlike many of my other demos, this one has some verb and a bit of processing on the top to show it a bit more finalized.
