There’s an expression that has me tugging for my shirt collar, as I feel a sense of constriction around my neck, it’s the phrase ‘on trend’. Yet cinematic scores often tend to come in waves, as one work inspires another; and there are some very clear influences on show within Audio Imperia’s new package, Talos Volume Two: Low Brass.
Back in 2010, the Christopher Nolan epic Inception hit our cinema screens, featuring a score by Hans Zimmer. It’s here that we first encountered the ‘braaam’, which is that low-brass-styled effect offering enormous gravitas and volume familiar to us all, thanks to its use by practically every blockbuster filmmaker ever since. With a brass section featuring 12 trombones and four tubas, Inception’s score became something of a sonic calling card.
The concept of hiring that many great low-brass players and placing them in an equally great studio might seem a daunting one, but that’s where Audio Imperia has stepped in. Based around four bass trombones, four cimbassi and four tubas, Talos Volume Two has been recorded on a relatively dry stage, to match the company’s other libraries, such as the outstanding Jaeger Essential Modern Orchestra. As well as offering a single full mix, the interface presents the option to vary the level of four separate signals, drawn from spot mic’ing, Decca tree, wide and far positions. In all cases, there’s a single Low Brass patch and no separation of instrumentation……..
