Post Description

ALBION ORCHESTRA "Loegria Sessions" - As with Albion ONE, everything is recorded at Air-Studios Lyndhurst Hall through the finest and rarest vintage valve and ribbon mics onto 2" tape. Every patch is available with four way mic control and all shorts patches work with the enriching "Ostinatum" gadget. We have a mixture of true legato, longs, and shorts patches, the latter of which are recorded with 4 round robins.

The strings sound-set (in addition to its standard, long, short and legato sets) features a comprehensive selection of additional techniques; the much called for tremolando patches, trills, harmonics, flautando (a favourite for many of our users), light col legno and a variety of shorts patches. With our Loegria Chamber Band, we feel we have created a library that has detail as you would expect but with a richness not found in other chamber strings offerings currently on the market. In addition to the full section, we have duplicated full longs and legatos with a smaller 'half section' sized band. With the 4-way mic control the sound is very adaptable and we feel the smaller section is better suited to independent scores, period pieces, romance and comedy, not to mention vocal accompaniment - pop tracks and alike.

The brass range concentrates on the true beauty of traditional British brass sections and their heart wrenching choral qualities. We have two ensembles recorded, a chocolatey bank of Euphoniums and Horns, and the more ancient but no less moving Sackbut choir.

The wind section concentrates on the beautiful simplistic qualities of traditional wooden recorders. Played by a group of the finest players of this in the UK.

THE BYRON TAPES - An inspiring place to start any new indy cue. A comprehensive selection of rhythm loops inspired by a popular keyboard instrument from the 60s and 70s (you know the one, it used real tape).

“...a set of musical loops that sound like they’ve escaped from a 1959 BBC TV documentary.” ; - David Stewart - Sound On Sound

As there were only a few of these rhythms recorded on the original classic they have been subject to massive over-use. Loegria provides an entirely new comprehensive bank of these style of rhythms. With a variety of mix settings including one via a line mixer owned and used by Jimi Hendrix. These loops and patterns are designed to tempo lock with your host.

We hope when you're up against a deadline and someone says "more quirky" that these loops will be a go-to destination for you.

DARWIN PERCUSSION - Another selection of thundering cinematic drums to reinvigorate your Darwin collections, or indeed start you off with everything you would expect from 'cinema' style percussion. We have gone deeper this time with 5 round robins, 5 dynamic layers and more hits. We have also recorded and edited "tight" and for that hooffner (very big indeed) sound; "loose" versions of the patches which really give you a sense of manpower behind the recordings.

FENTON REVERSERS - Any media composer knows that a tricky cut or a suddenly revised edit can make a mess of the musicality of a cue. A trick of ours that blurs a jump in music, a sudden 3/4 bar or 11/8 cut that runs in the middle of a beat, is to use some form of reversed material. Fenton Reversers are a selection of super cool reverses derived from the Albion range and locked into your host tempo so you don't need to line them up. A lot of these are also mod wheel dynamic cross fade controllable.
