Jeff Hijlkema | B A T T L E F I E L D // Suite for Hybrid Orchestra // Original score @jeffhijlkema | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
As a battle is a mix of emotions, so is this hybrid orchestral suite. This replacement is a re-mixed and re-mastered version of my earlier posted ‘Cinematic Battlefield Suite’ (Jan.2020). I like to revisit my older stuff with new knowledge. This time I used reference tracks more seriously trying to match up with it concerning the mix. In the attending video you get a glimpse into my Cubase template and settings.
I'm using Cubase pro 11 and mainly Spitfire Audio instruments in this hybrid orchestral suite:
- Albion One (Orchestra & Percussion)
- Albion Iceni (Orchestra & Percussion)
- Albion Tundra (strings)
- BBC Symphony Orchestra (full strings, flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, cello)
- Olafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions (High string evolutions)
- Percussion Swarm
- Eric Whitacre Choir (S-A-T-B)
- EDNA Earth synth
- Labs instruments (Synth, Peel Guitar and Dulcimer)
The grand piano is The Grandeur by Native Instruments.
The analogue synth parts are from the Prophet REV2 by Dave Smith Instruments.
All is mixed (and little mastered) with FabFilter and Wave plug-ins, as you can see in the attending video I compiled. Consider using your best pair of speakers or headphones to get the full spectrum experience. I was inspired by works of Tom Holkenborg and Lorne Balfe.
