  • 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.

This book will tell you how we have done from April 2007 to March 2008. It will also tell you how much money we got and how much we spent. What important things happened this year? ■ Our main supporter of children is Cherie Blair. She opened the new Wellbeing at Bearsted Centre in Hackney. ■ The Hope Charity became a part of Norwood. ■ We treat everyone who wants to work for us fairly. ■ We became a member of the Fundraising Standards Board. This means that we keep to strict rules to treat people fairly who give us money. ■ The new Norwood Nursery opened in Hendon. What important things will happen next year? ■ We will open 2 new homes at Ravenswood where 32 people with disabilities will live. ■ We will try to help more adults with learning disabilities to get jobs if they want to work. ■ Her Majesty The Queen will visit Ravenswood. Ivan Lewis MP visited Norwood when he was the government Minister for Care Services. He said: “Norwood has excellent services, so adults with learning disabilities can lead full and independent lives. Norwood should be proud because it has brilliant services for children and adults with learning disabilities.” We want to say thank you to: ■ the people who help us ■ the people who give us money ■ the people who work for us. 2 Richard Desmond Michael Teacher Norma Brier About Norwood Norwood is a charity that helps children and adults with learning disabilities or family problems.
