Exploring Orchestral Instrument Libraries one by one. Each track features one Sample Library (Kontakt mostly). These are all only brief encounters of mine with them as I don't own them, except for the free Spitfire Audio BBCSO Discover. But I deeply enjoyed making music with them all. Hopefully there will be more coming through along the way.

Symphonic Quickie with Audio Imperia's Nucleus

Here's a quick little first encounter with Jaeger. Didn't quite know what to do with it at first, but it is pretty powerful and makes me want to know better, hahaha.

Jaeger

A quintet for flute, oboe, horn, bassoon and harp.
Done with Spitfire Audio's BBCSO Core, In this first attempt of mine to do a quintet, I'm exploring freely various styles without any decent knowledge over any of them. It's really more like I'm just getting my feet wet in the general concept of a quintet. But along the way I've become more and more excited about the possibilities. Chances are that I'll do a lot more of these, but it did take me a good 7 days to get to this and I feel like it's far from finished.

Ahnenträume

Done entirely with Orchestral Tools' Berlin Inspire 1, this is a W.I.P I keep coming back to, because it is actually loads of fun to work on.

A small but powerful synthesiser that I had a lot of fun with! Excellent support from TILR, who spared no effort in troubleshooting problems and implementing suggestions. I have never seen so many updates during the course of development. And not because things weren't working, but to improve them. Very good support and many thanks again!
