Zero G ? New - Maleventum Epic War Horns?

[Larry Shelby]

DOWNLOAD NOW FOR ONLY $39

Kontakt library inspired by medieval and Viking horns.

We have committed to a deep research in the cinematic sound of epic war horns from ancient nordic and celtic cultures, from the carnyx to gjallahorn and bukkehorn (goat horn). We’ve recorded a huge amount of original medieval horn instruments, classical orchestral trombone and tuba, traditional flutes, horn instruments from the pastoral tradition across Europe and even self built blowing horns and pipes. All of them have been processed and layered to create a collection of epic braams, hunt horn calls, war horns, low tone brass sounds, high pitched screaming trumpets, animal-esque wailing sounds and much else.

Each sound and instrument contained in Maleventum instantly evokes scenes of forgotten dark ages, Viking armies and warriors, epic ancient battles, vast frozen landscapes, mystical pagan cults and supernatural presences hovering in the wind of the nordic woods.

Maleventum is for TV, film and game composers and sound designers looking for unique, carefully crafted sounds to enrich their compositions. It fits particularly well the epic genre, with specific regard to fantasy and dark age movies. It will be a very useful tool to provide plenty of inspiration for horror and thriller composers as to producers of dark electronic music and ambient.

I bought this today and have to say that it is GLORIOUS. Very foreboding, full of doom and gloom. Perfect for adding those "the horde is here!" moments to your compositions.

You can tune the SFX horns to a specific note and there are also playable horn pads that allow mixing two horn sounds together, which can create interesting effects.

A possible downside is that the soundscape is pretty dark throughout which limits where it can be used. Also, even with the pads I think it's best suited (and intended) for drones, risers and slowly creeping simple melodies. I initially thought I might use this to replace some brass parts, but after playing with it I quickly scratched that idea.

Still, it's my new favorite library. ?
