Kirean Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Quote Maleventum Pompeii is a Kontakt library based on horns and percussions from Ancient Rome. We have collaborated with producer and ancient instruments expert Francesco Landucci to record a vast array of horns and drums in an original Roman water tank environment, at the archeological site of Cecina Italy. Most of the instruments have been captured with both close and room microphones, to provide the flexibility to blend/switch from a more intimate, breathy sound to a more evocative one. Maleventum Pompeii features the following original instruments: Horns : Roman Cornu, Lituus, Roman Tuba, Aulos, goat animal horns of various sizes and typologies. Flutes , whistles and pan-flutes (syrinx) Drums & Percussions: Timpana, Tintinnabula, Crotala, Sistrum Weapons : swords, spears, metals, helmets With the 15 meticulously crafted Kontakt instruments, Maleventum Pompeii allows a wide range of composition possibilities, from playable solo horns instruments to evocative horns layers, from war horns sound design instruments to phrases, percussion loops and one-shots. Following the concept and tradition of the acclaimed Maleventum 1 and Maleventum 2, the instruments in Maleventum Pompeii instantly evoke scenes of ancient battlefields, solemn pagan rituals, with a sonic palette ranging from the gelid colors of the norths to the warm lands of the Mediterraneum. Maleventum Pompeii is for TV, film , game composers and sound designers looking for a one of a kind instrument based on rare and meticulously recorded horns and drums instruments , to immediately set a ‘dark age’ and ‘ancient’ mood. It fits particularly well the epic genre, with specific regard to fantasy and dark age movies, but its versatility makes it useful also for post-horror, thriller, electronic and ambient music. https://silenceandothersounds.com/products/maleventum-pompeii Maleventum Pompeii will be released on December 8th. Pre-orderers will receive a coupon on that date to download the library. Once the library is released, it will switch to the intro price of $-€ 69 and eventually to the regular price of $-€ 99.
