Albion Colossus marks a new chapter in cinematic scoring. Combining two full orchestras, modern guitars, epic synths, and a wide array of percussion, it offers a vast range of sounds designed for blockbuster-style action and drama. Whether you need quiet suspense or explosive power, Colossus has the depth and versatility to transform any score. With all-new controls like Hype, Scale, and Depth, you can push your compositions to new levels of intensity and expressiveness, giving your scores an unmistakable edge.
Albion Colossus expertly balances tension and impact, helping you create a smooth transition from delicate moments to roaring intensity. The library features close and small ensembles, including chamber strings and brooding guitars for building suspense. When it’s time to unleash power, the full symphonic orchestra, hard-hitting drums, and heavy synths deliver an awe-inspiring storm. For even more dramatic intensity, the Hype function lets you ramp up production levels, pushing your sound beyond the ordinary.
With Albion Colossus, you can take control of two world-class orchestras—a 42-piece chamber and a 111-piece symphony. Seamlessly blend between the two to create dynamic contrasts and evolving textures. Both orchestras were recorded in Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall and New Auditorium, using the same musicians and equipment to ensure cohesion. This dual-orchestra setup provides the perfect balance between intimacy and grandeur, offering composers a rich palette for shaping scores with depth and emotion.
For composers who crave more edge in their soundscapes, Albion Colossus brings a heavy, brooding atmosphere with re-amped guitars, intense drums, and doom-laden synths. The percussion spans traditional orchestral sounds to hard-hitting junkyard beats, while the expertly crafted synths shift from clean to gritty. These dark, modern elements add weight and drama to your compositions, allowing you to score everything from subtle tension to full-throttle action scenes with ease.
Albion Colossus introduces four dimensions of control, adding more expression than ever before. In addition to the usual dynamics and expression faders, you now have Hype, Scale, and Depth controls, which allow you to manipulate intensity, size, and spatial depth effortlessly. These controls provide an intuitive way to shape the emotional impact of your music, letting you create anything from close, intimate moments to vast, immersive soundscapes with just a few tweaks.
The new Hype, Scale, and Depth controls offer powerful ways to customise your sounds. Hype boosts the intensity of your preset, adding professional-level production values with a single touch. Scale lets you smoothly adjust the size of your ensemble, shifting from chamber to full symphonic. Depth allows you to move between close, intimate mic settings and spacious, ambient recordings. These expressive tools make it easier than ever to create dynamic, evolving scores.
Albion Colossus is designed with workflow efficiency and creative freedom in mind. It delivers tools that are both quick to access and easy to use, making it perfect for busy composers working on tight deadlines. Every sound is engineered for cohesion, ensuring that all elements—whether orchestral, guitar-based, or electronic—work seamlessly together. This library embodies the sound of modern Hollywood scoring, giving you the tools to create the kind of impactful, polished scores heard in today’s blockbuster films.
