Spitfire Audio London Contemporary Orchestra Textures (Digital product)

London Contemporary Orchestra Textures by Spitfire Audio is a groundbreaking and unique sound library created in collaboration with the internationally renowned London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO). This collection offers a sophisticated palette of constantly evolving organic textures, formed by layering unexpected combinations of instruments recorded in a decommissioned aircraft hangar in Suffolk, UK, giving each sound a remarkable 10-second reverb tail that adds incredible resonance and depth.

The library is divided into four distinct texture palettes, each providing a range of 12 individual evolving textures, totaling 48 unique sounds:

• Ethereal: A blend of voices (sopranos, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass), percussion, and cello to create otherworldly soundscapes.
• Mercurial: Featuring flute (including alto and contra), harp, viola, and cellos for dynamic and fluid textures.
• Quantum: Combining flute (plus alto and contra), piano, viola, and cellos to produce rich evolving sounds.
• Astral: Incorporates percussion, felt piano, and cello harmonics for deep, resonant tones.

Spitfire Audio's proprietary Evo Grid technology allows users to blend and manipulate these evolving textures intuitively. The interface lets composers explore 12 key ranges with randomization options for endless sonic variations. Multiple microphone positions are available, including Close, Main Array (ambient and outrigger combination), Room, and The Mix (a custom blend by mix engineer Joe Rubel), providing flexible sound perspectives.

This library is ideal for film composers, sound designers, and ambient producers seeking innovative orchestral colors and rich, evolving soundscapes. Fully compatible with Native Instruments' Kontakt Player (version 5.6.8 or higher) and NKS-compatible, it integrates seamlessly into modern production workflows.
