EastWest Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra Bundle

For composers, producers, and sound designers crafting fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks, achieving that sought-after, authentic sound can be a significant challenge. Imagining sprawling ancient kingdoms, intense battles, or whispered magic requires a set of instruments and vocal textures that truly resonate with these epic tales. We understand the quest to bring those visions to life through sound.

For a strictly limited period, we are featuring the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra Bundle. This comprehensive collection, brought to life by sound titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, offers everything necessary to score your next grand fantasy or medieval project. Recorded in full stereo mic placement at the historic EastWest Studio One—the very studio behind the legendary Hollywood Orchestra series—this bundle delivers a cohesive, powerful, and authentic sonic foundation for your music productions.

What's Included in Your Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra Bundle:

• Hollywood Fantasy Strings: Access a unique blend of historical instruments from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras alongside modern orchestral musicians. Experience true legato and diverse articulations designed for professional standards.
  • You'll find viola da gamba ensembles replacing traditional celli, offering a vibrant, sonorous Baroque character perfect for lush bowed string music, reminiscent of scores like The Pathless.
  • Hardanger fiddle ensembles take the place of violins, providing a brilliant, vibrant quality, ideal for lyrical melodies and adding a "Viking flair" often heard in themes like Howard Shore’s Rohan theme from Lord of the Rings.
  • Sparkling stereo images come from trios of lutes (like a 12-string guitar, known from Hades) and mountain dulcimers (similar to a mandolin, used by Led Zeppelin and The Beatles).
  • Incorporate the unique, folksy character of hurdy gurdies, which create a thick, layered drone with melodic accompaniment, featured in productions like The Witcher and Black Sails.
  • Modern string sections with 6 celli, 4 basses, 8 violins, and 6 violas are included to provide crucial low-end power and blend seamlessly with the fantasy instruments, ensuring your ensemble has the necessary breadth.
• Hollywood Fantasy Brass: Command attention with the grandeur of iconic brass instruments, complete with broad articulations and true legato. This collection features instruments specifically chosen for historical fantasy scores.
  • Instead of trumpets, use majestic flugelhorns for mellow, regal fanfares and royal settings, as heard in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Final Fantasy VII.
  • For French horns, you'll find rich Wagner tubas and mellow alpenhorns. Wagner tubas provide a unique cross between a French horn and trombone, evoking fantastic worlds, and have been featured in Star Wars IV, Lord of the Rings, and Jurassic Park. Alpenhorns offer a uniquely mellow, hollow sound, perfect for horn melodies, akin to elongated hunting horns.
  • A powerful low brass section, including 3 bass trombones, 2 cimbassos, and 1 tuba, delivers the growling, dark intensity needed to support your grandest musical statements.
  • Customize your sound with three distinct moods (Classic, Soft, and Epic) and individual control over four microphone positions (Close, Mid, Main, and Surround).
• Hollywood Fantasy Winds: Create ethereal and majestic woodwind passages that transcend the modern orchestra. This collection is deeply rooted in Celtic musical literature, offering evocative textures for highland scenes, mountain ranges, or enchanted forests.
  • Add brilliant, expressive melodies with high and low Irish whistles, which are staples in Celtic folk music and resemble a piccolo but with greater pitch bending, instantly recognizable from Howard Shore’s melody for the Shire.
  • Incorporate the smooth, breathy tone of Renaissance flutes, which offer a rounder, more mellow sound compared to modern flutes, providing intimacy and regal purity.
  • Feature the lyrical yet powerful Uilleann pipes, a Celtic classic with a more lyrical quality than bagpipes, perfect for regal melodies that blend seamlessly with a full orchestra, used in scores like Braveheart and Titanic.
  • Discover the haunting, hollow tone of ocarinas, made famous by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. These instruments are agile, soft, and flexible, ideal for expressive passages with beautiful trills and ornaments.
• Hollywood Fantasy Percussion: Ground your epic fantasy soundtracks with a full suite of thunderous, mystical struck and shaken instruments. This library is purpose-built for the unique demands of fantasy scoring, covering everything from fiery iron forges to royal celebrations.
  • Lay down a gentle but firm pulse with bodhrans, handheld Celtic drums known from Braveheart and Titanic.
  • Generate glorious bassy rumbling with large taikos, omnipresent in video game and film scores like Okami and The Last Samurai.
  • Underscore austere ceremonies with the haunting low impact of the massive 600 lb Nagado Ensemble, designed for rituals.
  • Broaden your metallic palette with splashy, resonant Balinese ceng cengs and unique, hollow North African krakebs.
  • Add eerie, mystical textures with the goatnail shaker or industrial, heavy sounds with orchestral metallurgy.
  • Traditional drum corps sounds come from the snare ensemble and the deeper, rounder toms, essential for conveying the grandeur of marching armies.
• Hollywood Fantasy Voices: Bridge the gap to true cinematic fantasy singing with Merethe Soltvedt’s majestic voice (lead vocalist for Two Steps From Hell) alongside full male and female choirs.
  • Merethe's voice offers emotional sustains (Lyrical for dramatic vowels, Vibrato for higher energy) and expressive true legato passages, allowing for realistic melodic contours.
  • Authenticity is built-in with 60 different Elvish words from Tolkien’s original language, which can be performed in isolation or chained for unique phrases.
  • Instantly set the mood with pre-recorded ad lib phrases for brooding, somber, or ominous scores.
  • The included male and female choirs provide a rich palette with traditional folk inspirations, perfect for powerful and gallant moments that conventional "epic" choirs may not capture.
  • A Keyswitch section condenses instruments into patches for quick composition and less menu navigation.
• Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator: This innovative tool, developed in collaboration with Sonuscore, enables you to create music in the style of Hollywood’s greatest fantasy scores in seconds.
  • Generate real-time arrangements based on your MIDI input by playing a few simple chords.
  • Utilize hundreds of customizable presets organized into categories like Ensembles (combining instruments for rich orchestral textures), Ostinatos (for rhythmic tension and melodic lines), and Scores (bringing classic Hollywood fantasy orchestrations to life).
  • It adds a Voices instrument section to the Scoring Engine, allowing you to seamlessly integrate Merethe Soltvedt’s majestic voice and choirs into your complex orchestrations.
  • Refine your final output with a comprehensive Mixer section, offering control over volume, pan, EQ, reverb, and more.
  • This Orchestrator is an invaluable asset for new composers seeking to achieve a magical fantasy sound quickly, and for professional composers needing to produce large compositions efficiently under deadlines.

This bundle is a unified system; the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator utilizes instruments from all five parts of the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series and is not a standalone product. With this complete bundle, you receive everything needed to harness its full power.

This exceptional opportunity to acquire the complete Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra Bundle at special pricing ends on Sept 1, 2025. Don't let this limited window close on your ability to create the next legendary fantasy soundtrack with an unparalleled depth of sound.
