Spitfire Audio doesn’t attempt to disguise its passion for musical scoring to picture, through an ever-swelling catalogue that equips modern soundtrackers brilliantly. But is there more to its products, for those who might want to produce music away from a narrative?
By jove, it’s British!
The second and much anticipated BDT shadows Spitfire’s initial BDT release; once again, Spitfire has called upon the amazing talents of Samuel Sim, a British TV composer with an impressive roster of credits across BBC TV and Netflix. Much of his work is based around narrative scoring, so you can see where BDT might lead.
Unlike the more bombastic orchestral libraries that we find in the marketplace, this package continues the subtler ethos of the original BDT, focusing on intimate sounds (which for the most part react according to the amount of velocity that you employ in your playing). BDT Brass and Reeds uses a slightly different palette of sounds from before, with a complement of both brass and wind instruments, some of which are not your more usual choices. The Brass contingent is very mellow; tuba and trombones are joined by the less obvious tenor horn and flugelhorn. With a darker timbre, there’s no sense of raspiness.
