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.

A little Halloween exploration with BBCSO Discover only...

Symphonic Quickie with Audio Imperia's Nucleus

My first attempt to do a bit more with ProjectSAM's Free Orchestra. It's quite a beast and there's a heck of a lot of gems in it. Thanks!

A little taste of CineSymphony LITE. Surprisingly gorgeous "little" library with heaps of treasures, hidden in heaps, so to say. Highly recommendable! This is just scratching the surface, really.

CineSympho001

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

Still experimenting with Global Tune bending for portamento and little slurs. Difficult to avoid squeakiness, but it kind of works...

Discover

Altum Inflexio

This is my first attempt at using BBCSO Core, which is truly a most beautiful library in many respects, from sound to handling. I know nothing, yet, and it's already such a pleasure to play with.

Core001

While this library only covers woodwinds and I have only spent part of a day with it, I chose to make a tiny quickie with it anyway... instruments just sound so beautiful.

CineWinds Core Quicky01

Made entirely with Versilian's free VCSL library using Sforzando(VST) in MuLab(DAW) on a $100 beelink miniPC. Not even a hick-up. Sometimes this world holds beautiful surprises!

Baroque Forest

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.
