A New Benchmark.
From John Williams to Hans Zimmer, orchestral brass has been a source of force and power in the modern era of film scoring. Heavyocity's FORZO: Modern Brass was made in that image. Recorded at the legendary Skywalker Sound, FORZO is the product of Heavyocity's world-class sound design team joining forces with award-winning composer, Jason Graves, and A-list Hollywood Film Score Engineer Satoshi Mark Noguchi. This dream team entered the hallowed halls of Skywalker with one goal in mind: create a new benchmark for orchestral brass.
Beyond Ordinary
Amassing an epic ensemble of world-class brass players was the first step in bringing this monster to life; FORZO's 12 french horns, four trumpets, eight trombones (tenor, bass, & contrabass), and two tubas deliver 25 GB of sheer brass power straight into the hands of the cinematic composer. Creative articulations like cluster bends and random flutters flex these sections’ muscles in a way that you just haven’t heard before. And when you want to truly harness this explosive brass VI, FORZO's Full Ensemble NKI puts the entire 26-piece brass orchestra (playing at the same time, in the same room) at your fingertips. You've heard brass, but not like this. FORZO: Modern Brass is truly beyond ordinary.
Skywalker Sound
Where does a composer go to get premier-level sound? They go to a world-renowned soundstage. And the main soundstage at Skywalker Sound is just that. It’s where cutting-edge films like Clint Mansel’s The Fountain, and classic games like Jason Graves’ Dead Space 2 & Steve Jablonsky’s Gears of War scores were recorded. This is FORZO: the sound of virtuoso players performing in a room where Hollywood’s finest films were scored. This epic soundstage is a living, breathing instrument in and of itself, surrounding the brass with an organic warmth that can’t be recreated with plugins or algorithms. The team at Heavyocity travelled across the country to record in this iconic room, and now they’re sharing these inspiring sounds with you.
