Product Information

The EastWest Hollywood Fantasy Brass is the second installment of the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series. It is a comprehensive collection of brass instruments that are designed to help you create fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks. Produced by sound experts Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, this product features unique ensembles that combine orchestral and world instruments, making it perfect for creating epic fantasy or medieval-themed compositions.

The recordings for the Hollywood Fantasy Brass were done in the same soundstage as the award-winning Hollywood Orchestra series. Many of the instruments were recorded in small ensembles with full stereo imaging mic placement, surround sound options, and all the features of EastWest’s revolutionary Opus software. This ensures that you have complete control over the sound and can create realistic and immersive brass performances.

The Hollywood Fantasy Brass can be purchased individually for a special introductory price of $99. Alternatively, you can get it as part of the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra bundle or through EastWest’s ComposerCloud+ subscription service.

USING INSTRUCTION

Hot on the heels of Hollywood Fantasy Strings, the first installment of EastWest Sound’s latest masterpiece Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, comes chapter two: Hollywood Fantasy Brass. Produced by sound titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra includes everything you need to create fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks. It includes unique ensembles that bridge the gap between orchestral and world instruments – perfect for your next big fantasy epic or medieval tale. Recorded in the same soundstage as their award-winning blockbuster series Hollywood Orchestra, many of the instruments of Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra have been recorded in small ensembles with full stereo imaging mic placement, surround sound options, and all the features of EastWest’s revolutionary Opus software.

Hollywood Fantasy Brass puts the grandeur of some of history’s most iconic brass instruments at your fingertips, complete with a broad articulation set and true legato for maximum realism and authenticity. Instead of trumpets, you’ll find flugelhorns; rather than French horns, Wagner tubas, and alpenhorns take their place. There’s even a low brass section that’s unlike anything you’ve heard before.

The result is a majesty that modern-day orchestras can’t quite replicate but with the power and conviction demanded by current movies and games. Hollywood Fantasy Strings and Hollywood Fantasy Brass have both been released. The next step in the journey is Hollywood Fantasy Winds (available June 22nd for $99), followed by Hollywood Fantasy Percussion (available July 27th for $99),

Hollywood Fantasy Voices (available August 31st for $99), and then finally the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator (partnered with Sonuscore, available October 5th for $99.) Soon you’ll have an entire collection of instruments at your fingertips perfect for creating cinematic fantasy masterpieces of any size and scale.

Hollywood Fantasy Brass is available for individual purchase for a special introductory price of $99, or you can get it as part of a Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra bundle, or with EastWest’s popular ComposerCloud+ subscription service, which gives you access to this and all collections in their massive catalog.
