We’ve partnered with the London Contemporary Or- instruments with them that could only be possible by harnessing chestra, whose work with the likes of Radiohead and Jed Kurzel the power of modern sampling technology. (Macbeth, Assassin’s Creed) has contributed significantly to this shift, to create a string library that gives you access to this FEATURES unique palette. This library contains multi-sampled violin, viola, cello and bass sections, and has been recorded at our dry stage The library comprises recordings of 6 Violins, 4 Violas, 3 Celli in London. With a host of dynamically controllable, never-be- and 2 Basses with the Celli in octaves, all in a tight room.

From sharply angular to sincere beauty, these up front strings are designed to make you think differently about string writing. And, by encour- aging the LCO to create the ‘impossible’ (ie by ‘d’-tuning to each note on our detuned articulations), they have embraced tech- nology to deliver us instruments you would never hear outside a sampler. This truly is a unique set of tools that will set you out and above your peers. Members of LCO became interested in working with us when we started experimenting with our Evo Grid lines. Over a peri- od of two years we met and talked about how we could make a library that was unlike any other, and it became clear to us that working with the LCO could only lead to that outcome… Winner of the Ensemble category at the Royal Philharmonic So- ciety Music Awards 2015, the London Contemporary Orchestra has established itself as one of the UK’s most innovative and re- spected ensembles – promoting the best new music and cross- arts collaborations to an increasingly wide audience. Formed in 2008 by co-Artistic Directors Robert Ames and Hugh Brunt, the LCO has collaborated with a distinguished array of composers, artists and brands, including Radiohead, Secret Cinema, Actress, Vivienne Westwood, Jonny Greenwood, members of Arcade Fire, Boiler Room, Goldfrapp, Nike, Terry Riley, Beck and Foals. Highlights include sold-out performances at the Roundhouse, Southbank Centre and Barbican; There Will Be Blood: Live; the critically-acclaimed site-responsive series Imagined Occasions; and live broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. The orchestra’s soundtrack output features The Master, Theeb, Slow West and Macbeth, and the LCO strings and choir feature prominently on Radiohead’s 2016 album A Moon Shaped Pool.

  • London Contemporary Orchestra Textures Spitfire Audio User Manual Congratulations
    LONDON CONTEMPORARY ORCHESTRA TEXTURES SPITFIRE AUDIO USER MANUAL CONGRATULATIONS Thank you for purchasing Spitfire Audio - London Contemporary Orchestra Textures. Our second collaborative venture with the internationally-acclaimed London Contemporary Orchestra took us to an awe-inspiring aircraft hangar for a re- cording process like no other. Together we have created a completely unique, never-before-sampled sound palette — a sophisticated collection of constantly evolving organic textures, formed by layering unexpected combinations of instru- ments (from tuned wine glasses, to felt piano to voices). In applying the signature workshopping, performance styles and innovative techniques that have made the LCO so sought after, we have produced textures made up of indefinable, fas- cinating sounds. To capture these textures, we needed a space with unparalleled acoustics, which led us to the most un- conventional recording space in Spitfire’s eleven year sampling history — a cavernous aircraft hangar in Suffolk, England, with a remarkable 10 second reverb tail — adding incredible resonance to each note. Enhanced with our unique Evo Grid technology and mixed by renowned mix engineer, Joe Rubel, we give you access to a cutting edge, inspiring collection of instantly playable, spellbinding textures which will add incredible depth and colour to your composition.

There Will Be Blood director / writer Paul Thomas Anderson said of 2001: A Space Odyssey, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year: “It’s so hard to do anything that doesn’t owe some kind of debt to what Stanley Kubrick did with music in movies.” Actor and Philharmonic Board Member Alec Baldwin returns as Artistic Advisor of The Art of the Score, which explores some of the most distinctive uses of music in film. “The Art of the Score demonstrates how scoring illuminates film,” said Alec Baldwin, the series’ Artistic Advisor. “Just take the opening sequence of 2001, ‘The Dawn of Man,’ which never ceases to amaze and unsettle me — apes on the verge of the Homo sapiens era experience God or ‘Genius’ or some such inspiration.
