Tides by Rachel Portman–emotive chamber orchestra
Inspired by Rachel Portman’s work and created together with her, Tides gives you a carefully curated orchestra to navigate the waves of human emotion and expression. Chamber strings combine with a cast of special character instruments, and everything is designed to soar and sing—recorded in a musical context with a very special lyrical legato. Tides encourages you to write what you feel. Ideal for scores beyond the mainstream, where subtlety, nuance, and ingenuity combine.
Long-time admirers of Rachel Portman’s work, we studied her music and distilled specific elements and devices. Then we worked with Rachel to choose her cast of instruments, finally settling on the unique ensemble in Tides. She then composed a piece of music specifically for this ensemble, and this further informed how we captured these instruments.
The resulting collection is perfect for capturing the subtle nuance and timeless elegance of independent cinema. Whether you're working on a period drama or an intimate character study, Tides provides everything you need to craft a deeply moving, cinematic experience.
