WHAT IS IN THE ALBIONS ORCHESTRAL SELECTS?
The Albions Orchestral Selects is a carefully curated collection of orchestral ensembles, bringing together the most evocative and inspiring instruments from across the renowned Albion series. This unique anthology offers a diverse palette of orchestral sounds, hand-picked from each Albion library, that let the individual character of the orchestra shine and that provide composers with a wide range of expressive possibilities. From the intimate textures of a chamber ensemble or the epic power of a full symphony orchestra, The Albions Orchestral Selects delivers a rich tapestry of sounds to bring any cinematic moment to life.
This tailored selection of sounds captures the essence of each library, from delicate legatos and emotive sustains to powerful staccatos and thunderous percussion. Incorporating the epic scale of Albion ONE, the rich textures of Albion Loegria's strings, the colossal low end of Albion Iceni, the icy beauty of Tundra and the intimate detail of NEO, this versatile collection provides the tools you need to paint vivid sonic landscapes and bring your musical vision to life.
