Albion!!!!

Absolutely LOVING the VST Albion by Spitfire. It's like having the London Symphony Orchestra or St. Martins in the Fields in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Truly an incredible sample collection and the Ostinatum tool is the ultimate idea generator. The imperfection of it makes it human, organic and all the more beautiful and emotive. I truly wish more VSTs went to such detail and depth to allow electronic musicians to reach beyond merely the pure electronic and to have such wonderful imperfections such as sqeaks, fruity woodwind notes and to be able to hear each and every bow movement in strings. On "Celeritas Lucis" Albion is proving priceless, worth the weight of the low and mid-strings in gold, perfect, warm and big big big OMG lush big human sweet plush sounding.

Get Albion, you'll love it!

From the Albion site-

  EPIC CINEMATIC TOOLS

Made from a totally new set of samples recorded in May and June 2011 at Air-Studios Lyndhurst Hall, ALBION is the most exciting addition to Spitfire’s commercial range to date. A one-stop-shop of thundering orchestral delights….

ALBION ORCHESTRA - “…if you need a palette of powerful orchestral ensembles which will inspire your writing, galvanise your scores and generally add class, sheen, size, power and depth to your orchestral armoury, the library delivers in spades.” Sound On Sound Magazine October 2011.

The finest orchestral sessions musicians playing the finest, rarest instruments, recorded at Air Studios - Lyndhurst Hall, London, through the finest vintage, valve, and ribbon mics to 2" tape. The only tape based orchestral library in the world. This is all you need to write epic sounding, widescreen cinematic orchestral music straight out of the box. Recorded in sections, this library features rich aggressive and lyrical strings, punchy, growling brass and some seriously malevolent woodwinds.

All patches come with 4 mixable/ routable and selectable mic positions C(lose), T(ree), A(mbient) and O(outrigger). Work with one mic "in" on your laptop on the plane, then render down with all four routed to 5.1 on your "big rig" back at your studio.

In addition to that true legato is available across all choirs of the orchestra. A new and innovative addition is our "Ostinatum" engine that helps you build exciting and unexpected arrangements to your flowing top-lines and a huge bank of mod wheel fade orchestral FX to provide you with some alearic colours.

DARWIN PERCUSSION - “The ‘cinematic’ sound of big, booming drums and scary, low?pitched rumbles and crashes, preferably recorded in a highly reverberant hall acoustic… this type of explosive, earth?shaking racket is amply covered in Albion.” Sound On Sound Magazine October 2011.

Darwin Percussion is a thunderous collection of massive cinematic drums, ear piercing metal slams, sub sonic thuds, a cymbal ensemble and exciting mid and high range action sections. Available with 4 round robins 4 dynamic layers and 3 mic positions.

STEPHENSON'S STEAM BAND - “…introducing a psychedelic, otherworldly quality. The pads section ranges from dreamy, gently swelling chordal textures to enormous, multi-octave ‘choir of the gods’ style patches.”Sound On Sound Magazine October 2011.

Derived and punked entirely from our orchestral recordings, to make these "other-worldly" soundscapes easier to mix into the orchestral sound-palette. With X/Fade modulation and 2 mic positions for surround information. Whilst being enormous in scale and interest all pads and drones are harmonically monophonic for true musical integration into your cues.

BRUNEL LOOPS - A selection of esoteric tools designed to sit on top of your mix to add sparkle and "motivation" these feature up to 4 dynamic layers of MW Xfade and feature an advance FX sequencer.

Winning two Future Music awards: “Platinum” and “Value”. The magazine awarded Albion these scores: 8/10 for Stability, 10/10 for Value, 9/10 for Ease Of Use, 9/10 for Versatility, 9/10 for Results.

It is quite simply a must for any aspiring film composer a must for any existing film composer wishing to pump life back into a tired palette of sounds. Recorded in London for that truly "British" sound, Albion is the only library commercially available in the world today.

 I am currently blonde. Yes, I know. Scary. Pixie blonde. It's temporary however, as I am going back to my normal Pravana violet and sadly due to having a Jewfro, some of my curls dodged the bleach so I have to wait a week and then bleach again before going purple. I look like either Draco Malfoy with a bad perm or Daenrys Stormborn with a bob haircut. But still...blonde.

"Yes Khaleesi..."

Here's a pic of me taken today, the day after the peroxide carnage to laugh at-

But yeah, two more tracks in final production and in the arrangement/mastering phases.

Progress is GOOD. Tracks kick ass.

Trance is life and love, trance forever.

In studio working hard.

Plans changing as the new tracks evolve and change in composition/arrangement. 

"Vermillion" and "Antropy" have tentative release date first week of September on the Pharmacy Music Label.

We're going back into the studio to finish covering our own track, "Light Speed":)

It's strange recomposing and arranging and reinstrumenting ones own track and making it a wholly difference beast. In the 14 months since it was released, we've learned so much, grown so much.

I'm looking forward to giving this track to you. It's gonna be tasty.

We're revisiting our 2012 release that was on an obscure trance label and will be redoing it and releasing it as a free track.

It is amazing to see how far we've grown as composers/producers in a year. 

I am also glad "Lightspeed" can be improved. I'm hoping it can make the Kessel Run in fewer milliseconds than "Awesome"

Feel free to ask us questions about EDM Production (Electronic Dance Music Production), EDM culture, trance music, Ableton Live, Controllerism, who we are, what we're up to in the studio, or anything else. Basically we've an AMA (Ask Me Anything) Policy.

We (well, actually just I, (Pixie) only bite when asked nicely:)
