In OASIS I make use of a hybrid orchestra, painting broad spheric strokes mostly, setting atmosphere. Here's my instrumental palette :
- Violins 1, violins 2, violas, celli, basses (BBCSO Core)
- Olafur Arnalds Chamber evolutions.
- Kepler Orchestra Basses
- Horns, Trombones, and Bass trombones (BBCSO Core and Albion Iceni)
- Sopranos & Tutti Choir (Eric Whitacre Choir)
- High, mid and low percussion (Hammers, Spitfire Audio)
- A bunch of soft synths; using patches out of Percussion Swarm, Kepler Orchestra, Albion One, Albion Iceni and Albion Tundra.
- Mosaic Synth Bass (Heavyocity)
- Vocalise 3 (Heavyocity)
- Solo Guzheng (Orchestral Tools, Phoenix orchestra)
- Zen drum (Fracture Sounds)
It doesn’t take much to notice I was inspired by the 2021 version of Dune, music by Hans Zimmer.
All was composed, mixed and produced using Cubase 13 Pro, along with my favorite mix/master plugins. To name a few; the Avalon 737 and 747, the Manley Massive Passive EQ, Fabfilter EQ, Fabfilter Compressor and Fabfilter Limiter.
The video was created using free footage from Pexels and Videvo. Processed and edited using both Hitfilm Express and Davinci Resolve.
Be well,
Jeff Hijlkema
