Cinematic battle theme Heyho, Within the soundtrack I wanted to express the happening of a medieval grand battle, a dramatic event that did cost thousands of lifes. I dispense with windwoods. I wanted to keep the real epic and dramatic feeling and windwoods didn't really fit my setup. The only exception is the contrabassoon, which basically just supports the many low brasses in order to make them sound more... powerful. This orchestra is built with: Octobass Double Basses Cellos Violas Violines Contrabassoon Tubas Contrabass Trombones Bass Trombones Tenor Trombones Bass Trumpets Trumpets Male Choir Male Soloist Vibraphone Snare Mid Toms Timpani Bass Drums E-Drums Cymbals Shakers The Octobass obviously isn't a real one (there are only few ones existing in the world and therefore there are no samples of it either). What I did was taking another Double Bass and pitched it down digitally. I just wanted to have the very deep pitch, which the usual Double Bass is unable to play. Cheers! https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
