Anyone with an interest in soundtrack scoring cannot have missed the presence of ethereal vocals over the last 15 years or so. Once one score lit the vocal-lead touch paper, others followed, with further use of these vocal elements stemming back to the 90s, with artists such as Enigma and Deep Forest. Bringing us bang up to date, EastWest’s new collection exploits the latest software developments to offer far more than just triggering of phrases.
FEATURED ARTIST
As if to immediately nail the EastWest manifesto to the mast, all of the samples have been performed by the extraordinary vocal talent of Uyanga Bold. Apart from being a trained opera singer, she clearly has an internal switch which can be flicked to the raw and unadulterated sound that we hear here, which is largely a melting cover star Hans Zimmer, and being a featured performer in the performances of For most of us, the expressive nature of what she is singing is simply reduced to a beautiful collection of vocal colours, which are perfect for soundtrack work and beyond.
