Crotales, Orchestral Bells Ensemble, Ceng Ceng, and Nagara Rub FX Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-08-21 | Listen to the new Crotales, Orchestral Bells Ensemble, Ceng Ceng and Nagara Rub FX from Hollywood Fantasy Percussion 🎧Crotales:Small chromatic cymbals that blend the quality of a glockenspiel and wind chimes — these are a great way to sustain a gradual, regal melody and offer a delightful contrast with wind and stringed instruments. James Horner used crotales to great effect in the 90s film Sneakers.Orchestral Bell Ensemble:We’ve also included chimes to help round out the collection and lock in with a more conventional orchestra, though they’re equally suited to adding the sound of church bells in a castle town or scoring joyous ceremonies that demand regal treatment.Ceng Ceng:These Balinese cymbals have a splashy, resonant character perfect for background ambience; they’re much softer than their Western counterparts and work wonders for broadening your palette of metals without the normal harshness of cymbals.Nagara Rub FX:Imagine a deep, atonal bowed instrument howling in the night and you’ll arrive at a similar sound to this rubbed Indian drum. This festival and temple staple is evocative and mysterious, and a great tool for letting your imagination run wild.Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Percussion: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
Nagara and Ashiko, 3 Bodhrans, Krakeb, and Tom Ensemble Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-08-15 | Listen to the new Nagara and Ashiko, 3 Bodhrans, Krakeb, and Tom Ensemble from Hollywood Fantasy Percussion 🎧Nagara and Ashiko:A combination of multiple folk drums evoking images of festivals, street performances, rituals, and any manner of other fantasy cultural settings. You’ll find a collection of hits, rolls, rim taps, and more to build your own robust drum ensemble. The nagara is often used in the popular dance form Ghoomar, commonly attributed to the 2018 movie Padmaavat.3 Bodhrans:If you’ve ever listened to Celtic folk music, chances are you’re familiar with the rich quality of the bodhran. This handheld drum is typically played with a two-sided mallet or by hand, offering a gentle but firm pulse to keep the music moving (and the ale flowing). Listen to how this delightful folk drum livens up the score to Braveheart and Titanic!Krakeb:North African castanets with a similar tone to the ceng ceng, but with a rounder timbre and lower in pitch. Their hollow quality sets them apart from other cymbals and adds a floating, soft feel to this percussion suite.Tom Ensemble:The deeper, rounder cousin to the snare ensemble, this creates a hefty lower-mid power layer for additional oomph in your drum core (or simply a nice thwack when needed).Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Percussion: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
3 Gran Cassas, 3 Large Taikos, Orchestral Metallurgy, and 600 lb Nagado Ensemble Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-08-07 | Listen to the new 3 Gran Cassas, 3 Large Taikos, Orchestral Metallurgy, and 600 lb Nagado Ensemble from Hollywood Fantasy Percussion 🎧3 Gran Cassas:We also added a bass drum into this collection to help extend the low end of the orchestra, which is notably absent in many traditional ensembles. Rather than the rounded, mellow mallet hits in conventional orchestral playing, the gran cassa is struck in a much wider range of impacts.3 Large Taikos:This drum likely needs no introduction due to its omnipresence in video game and film scores, but we recorded a tight-knit ensemble to provide the glorious bassy rumble these massive drums are famed for. Their ominous low end simply can’t be beaten. Okami, The Last Samurai, and countless other soundtracks have used taikos for their incredible tone and power.Orchestral Metallurgy:A collection of large metals being grazed, struck, and beaten for a suite of heavy industrial sounds; if you need the sound of a forge or assembly line from a distant realm, this is exactly how to do it.600 lb Nagado Taiko:Unlike other taikos, the massive nagado-daiko was designed for rituals and spiritual uses, and as such is a great way to underscore austere ceremonies with a single, haunting low impact. This drum ensemble especially shines in slow, quiet passages with little competition in the orchestra.Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Percussion: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
Hollywood Fantasy Percussion Walkthrough EastWest Sounds 2023-07-27 | Hollywood Fantasy Percussion provides a full suite of thunderous, mystical struck and shaken instruments to complement even the most epic soundtracks. While they’re well-suited to most orchestral scores, they shine in combination with the rest of the Hollywood Fantasy palette. There’s no shortage of bombastic drum libraries available, but there’s never been a percussion library specifically designed for scoring epic fantasy soundtracks — so we created it ourselves.When scoring for fantasy, there are countless settings where conventional percussion simply doesn’t cut it: fiery iron forges, royal celebrations, traditional folk festivals, and that’s just scratching the surface. That’s when you need percussion that doesn't just carry the drama of the scene, but feels perfectly at home in the world you’re composing for. We’ve selected each instrument in this collection to span every setting imaginable so that no matter the scoring task, you have the tools to not only underscore the drama on-screen, but to wrap up the audience in an entirely new, fantastical world they need to hear to believe.Check out the other released chapters in the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series:Chapter 1: Hollywood Fantasy Strings: youtu.be/C1WZ-8wb0-4Chapter 2: Hollywood Fantasy Brass: youtu.be/PVyWG4HE8dEChapter 3: Hollywood Fantasy Winds: youtu.be/mNolr5rwa9gChapter 5: Hollywood Fantasy Voices: youtu.be/xLjw8dkQqawStay tuned for the release of Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator on October 26th!Hollywood Fantasy Percussion is now available for purchase for an introductory price of $99 (regular price $149).

4 Ocarinas Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-07-22 | Listen to the new 4 Ocarinas from Hollywood Fantasy Winds 🎧Nintendo's iconic game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time brought this haunting, hollow-tone but long forgotten instrument back into the public eye. Think of this as a more agile folk complement to the Renaissance flute used more often in court music; it’s soft, flexible, and allows for beautiful trills and ornaments that add depth to anything you play. This ocarina ensemble is the perfect choice for soft, expressive passages when whistles and pipes cut through a little too sharply.Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Winds: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins
3 Uilleann Pipes Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-07-18 | Listen to the new 3 Uilleann Pipes from Hollywood Fantasy Winds 🎧This Celtic classic from the 1700s has been used in countless scores like Braveheart, Titanic, along with Square’s classic game Xenogears. Its construction is similar to that of the bagpipes, but its quality is more lyrical rather than piercing, making these pipes the perfect choice for regal melodies that blend seamlessly with a full orchestra. Uilleann pipe sound libraries have been around for some time, but an ensemble was unheard of until now — layer this with strings or other winds, or let it shine on its own for rich melodic passages fitting for the soundtracks of any scale.Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Winds: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
2 Renaissance Flutes Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-07-15 | Listen to the new 2 Renaissance Flutes from Hollywood Fantasy Winds 🎧This flute has a similar smooth, breathy tone to the concert flute, but its wooden construction provides a rounder and more mellow sound similar to that of an ancient recorder. Its smooth, breathy quality is simultaneously intimate and regal and offers a more pure, gentle substitute for the flute for you to weave into the orchestra or balance out the brilliance of the Irish whistles. Don’t let this mislead you, though — these Renaissance flutes can stand up to scoring tasks of any scale, adding a fullness and mystical quality you’ll be hard-pressed to achieve any other way.Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Winds: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
2 Low Irish Whistles Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-07-10 | Listen to the new 2 Low Irish Whistles from Hollywood Fantasy Winds 🎧The low whistles have the same mystical sound of the high Irish whistle, but with a lower pitch range and a deeper, rounder and more mellow sound quality. This is a great way to extend the range of a standard whistle and provide a richer, airier quality that translates even more smoothly to orchestral and cinematic settings. If you enjoy the sound of the bass flute and wish there was a variant with more of a folk quality, this should fill that position quite nicely. Try doubling it at the octave with the high Irish whistle and you’ll have a simultaneously warm and piercing melody that captures the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes you can imagine!Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Winds: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
2 High Irish Whistles Demo EastWest Sounds 2023-07-03 | Listen to the new 2 High Irish Whistles from Hollywood Fantasy Winds 🎧If you've been enchanted by Howard Shore’s melody for The Shire in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack, you know the brilliant sound of the Irish whistle well. It’s a staple in Celtic folk music, and it’s extremely flexible as a topline addition to the melodies you create with other instruments in this collection. It shares similarities with a piccolo, but with much more expressive pitch bending and a dramatic contour between registers. Few instruments offer this rare combination of depth and dynamics in higher frequency ranges, and it will be a welcome addition to any fantasy ensemble.Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Winds: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
Hollywood Fantasy Winds Walkthrough EastWest Sounds 2023-06-22 | Hollywood Fantasy Winds presents an array of ethereal, majestic woodwind instruments that transcend the modern orchestra, complete with true legato and a wide variety of articulations to command the realism and power you need in a cinematic ensemble of winds. With this collection, you can paint detailed images of Celtic highlands, scrolling mountain ranges, enchanted forests, and any other fantasy settings you can possibly imagine. These winds complete the core orchestral trinity with lyrical strings and brilliant brass, giving you the texture you need to complete a true melodic fantasy ensemble.Many instruments in the Hollywood Fantasy Winds have no parallel in the modern orchestra: sonorous Uilleann pipes, mellow ocarinas, and brilliant Irish whistles to name a few. You’ll find they feel right at home even in the grandest settings though, and that they carry a rich, haunting quality that conventional sample libraries can’t touch. Winds are the lifeblood of fantasy folk music, adept at describing everything from crowded merchant streets to fantastic adventures across uncharted lands. The entire collection is deeply rooted in Celtic musical literature and is perhaps the most unique and evocative section in Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra.Check out the other released chapters in the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series:Chapter 1: Hollywood Fantasy Strings: youtu.be/C1WZ-8wb0-4Chapter 2: Hollywood Fantasy Brass: youtu.be/PVyWG4HE8dEChapter 4: Hollywood Fantasy Percussion: youtu.be/utj_12J1TkEChapter 5: Hollywood Fantasy Voices: youtu.be/xLjw8dkQqawStay tuned for the release of Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator on October 26th!Hollywood Fantasy Winds is now available for purchase for an introductory price of $99 (regular price $149).

Rather than making massive EQ and reverb changes to another brass ensemble, simply add in this collection and you’ll have the perfect complement. Make no mistake, though: This brass section packs the punch and warmth you need no matter the task even on its own, making it a powerful asset for all your fantasy needs.Learn more about Hollywood Fantasy Brass: bit.ly/3TJfzMR#shorts #newrelease #hollywood #music #musician #producer #musicproducer #film #tv #game #composer #musiciansofyoutube #fantasy #soundtrack #vst #plugins #virtualinstruments
