Westwood Instruments have released Alt Choir, available at the intro price of £167.00, increasing to £239.00 after the promotion. The offer ends November 14th.
A groundbreaking choir sample library embracing the raw, human essence of vocal performance. This is not your typical choir library; it’s an immersive experience that captures the authenticity of a group of real people singing together.
16 vocalists from a range of musical influences. A blended sound between the classical and the contemporary.
This is a set of incredible vocal performances that you can’t get anywhere else. Ready to breathe emotion into your scores, soundtracks and cinema-inspired music.
Episodes’ is Westwood Imstruments’ new feature created for Alt Choir. The Sopranos, Altos and Tenors each have their own harmonic part that work together in both key and tempo. A sound that flows around your the music you’ve made. Like our famed Improvisations, but on a whole new level.
Recorded in all 12 keys, both major and minor, all with different vowel sounds and dynamics. This feels like the vocalists and improvising around the music you’re playing.
Each of the four sections has two absolutely stunning legato articulations. Elegant and natural performances that flow like water. Both powerful and beautiful. The standard legato has a sustained and more stable sound. The Improvised legato carries a natural performance where all the vocalists are adding their own small moments of vibrato and dynamics.
From across the UK, Westwood Instruments curated a chamber-sized choir of 16 vocalists arranged in 4 sections. With influences ranging from folk, pop and indie as well as more classically tuned voices. Whilst you can hear individual personalities in each of the sections, the sound is perfectly blended across the whole choir.
Included in the library is a whole instrument of synth-like sounds. Westwood Imstruments took the mountains of source recordings from the original sessions to create these 12 unique sounds. They all still have the soul they captured in the studio, but have been transformed into something completely different. Wrapped up in a custom interface so you can mix them into something that’s yours.
Arranged in the perfect semi-circle for this size of ensemble, Westwood Imstruments recorded everyone in situ for a balanced stereo image. Each of the sections was recorded in isolation, so you have complete control over the whole choir.
