Orchestral Tools have released Tides, available at the intro price of €349.00, increasing to €499.99 after the promotion. The offer ends June 11th.
Inspired by Rachel Portman’s work and created together with her, Tides gives you a carefully curated orchestra to navigate the waves of human emotion and expression. Chamber strings combine with a cast of special character instruments, and everything is designed to soar and sing—recorded in a musical context with a very special lyrical legato. Tides encourages you to write what you feel. Ideal for scores beyond the mainstream, where subtlety, nuance, and ingenuity combine.
Rachel Portman’s music is multi-faceted and impossible to categorize. Revered by many composers as a true icon, she’s perhaps best known for her pastoral scores for literary adaptations, or for being the first female composer to win an Oscar. But focusing solely on these achievements misses out on the incredible range in her work, and on the exceptional level of creative and artistic expression within her music, her unique ear for melodic detail, and her fluid sensitivity for sound and instrumentation. She has composed more than one hundred scores for film, television and theatre, and written an opera, as well as a body of her own concert music. She remains an active and very much in-demand composer. We are absolutely honored to have created Tides with Rachel.
