Pacific Ensemble Strings

юновольноприключенческий

2025 Inspiration 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.

PACIFIC in context of other instruments. Here is a short piece that I did as a speedwrite challenge - verb and proc is included here. Orchestral elements are pre-alpha patches from Pacific Strings, ABP-Soloists, and very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion. Pacific legatos are pre take-selection and pre balancing.

PACIFIC STRINGS in context of other instruments. Proc is included here, but no verb. Pacific Strings, Oceania II, ABP-Soloists, AWP, very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion (including the tonal perc), and ensemble anvils from the upcoming PACIFIC PERCUSSION.

Pacific - Strings - Polar - By Michał Cielecki

Going Home Again - Luke Olney (Contextual)

Pacific - Strings - Legato Violins Improv Test (close-heavy mix) - by Jasper Blunk

I started composing this song 5 years ago, back when I used only music notation software to compose. It's always been one of my favorites but I never finished it. Now that I have all these amazing sample libraries I decided to dig it up and finish it. Its' been a lot of work but here is the finished version of The Voyage.

The Voyage chronicles the many adventures of a young sailor. As he travels to distant lands.

Planetary Ambush

Sonespheres 01: Distance is an atmospheric synth, texture and soundscape library, featuring the sound design of the amazing Blake Ewing. The library was created using acoustic source recordings of a variety of instruments and voices. The general theme is a deep selection of over 300 stylized and carefully sound designed lead and support instruments with a warm, detailed and intricately nuanced character.

Blake Ewing: "In my mind, with few exceptions, music supports and invokes a certain storytelling. Hearing certain timbres and frequencies together triggers something in most of humanity. A place. A time. A memory. An emotion. A sense of urgency or hope. A needed comfort. A broken heart. Real or concocted, the effect is universal.

This belief and these experiences affect me not only as a person, but inspire me as an artist. To that end, I’m proud to have helped create a set of tools that will hopefully act as a starting canvas for your own productions. My hope is that you as musicians will use these sounds as the hazy, ethereal, ambiguous base, on which to bring into sharp focus your own artistic visions - Be it in support or your stories, or those of the others with whom you work.

In Distance, I’ve tried to be thorough without being repetitive - to offer sounds that might work in a range of production styles and musical sensibilities. From longing solo instruments and heartbreaking pads to tense bowed textures and forward-leaning rhythms, I truly hope there’s something here for everyone."

The Milky Way Express

Century 2.0 includes 2 new mixes with the instruments placed in natural orchestral seating position.  Great, polished sound, out of the box.  MIX A is very focused and detailed.  LOTS of bow.  MIX B is wide and ambient, puffy and warm. We realize that many composers out there are defining their own sound by mixing and matching libraries.  With this in mind, we will also be providing EQ presets and videos to help you mix Century with other great strings libraries.
