Immortal Pt. 4

THE COMPASS STONE:
The origins of Western drama can be traced to the celebratory music of 6th-century BC Attica, the Greek region centered on Athens. Although accounts of this period are inadequate, it appears that the poet Thespis developed a new musical form in which he impersonated a single character and engaged a chorus of singer-dancers in dialogue. As the first composer and soloist in this new form, which came to be known as tragedy, Thespis can be considered both the first dramatist and the first actor. Of the hundreds of works produced by Greek tragic playwrights, only 32 plays by the three major innovators in this new art form survive.

Studio Equipment

Comprises of two PCs (a laptop and a desktop), a 61 note velocity sensitive keyboard Yamaha Midi Controller, one Ritter electric guitar, a 5 string Fender electric bass and one Yamaha acoustic guitar. The Yamaha Midi keyboard is connected with the PCs through a Presonus AudioBox Midi interface. 

Since my music elaborates orchestral sounds with jazzy and modern / ethnic elements for the purpose of film soundtracks, I’ve tried over the years to acquire virtual instruments which satisfy these specific needs thereby focusing on libraries which (1) reproduce orchestral instruments and concert acoustic as realistic as possible and (2) electronic sounds and Jazz band and ethnic instruments as well as acoustic and electronic drum sets and percussions. 

My main music software concern libraries from Native Instruments such as Kontakt 5 (includes a big variety of sounds from ethnic and Jazz instrument articulations to electronic drum / percussion loops and vintage pads), Emotive Strings, Acoustic Piano Gentleman whereas recently discovered the beautiful realistic orchestral sounds developed by Spitfire Audio such as BML Mural Ensemble Symphonic Library, BML Chamber Strings, Scary Strings and HZ03 Percussion London. My sound palette is also complemented with Edirol Orchestral and for more electronic and urban / atonal sounds with Dark Planet by Steinberg, Enigma by Spitfire Audio, the legendary Moog Modular virtual patch, Atmosphere, Spectrasonics Omnisphere, Line 6 Pod farm, Roland JP8000, ezd drummer and Stylus RMX. 

The above instruments are recorded via the host music software Cubase Elements which in turn includes a comprehensive and handy digital mixer, several filters and effects, all allowing further sound processing.
