Big Bang Orchestra: Zodiac marks the daring finale of our monumental series. With 112 string players alone, the massive sound of its oversized ensembles makes for a bold statement that elevates and enriches your arrangements with epic breadth and power.

Introduction

Walkthrough

Overview

The collection includes seven ensembles:

First violins – 30 players
Second violins – 26 players
Violas – 20 players
Cellos – 22 players
Basses – 14 players
Horns – 12 players
Trombones – 9 players

Smooth Blaring?
Recording BBO: Zodiac's very large string sections was not so much about volume – they deliver an especially lush and smooth sound that adds a beautiful warmth to your tracks. Likewise, the horns offer round and somber tones at lower volume levels. What’s really mind-blowing is the extremely powerful and blaring fortefortissimo of 12 horn players on the edge of what’s possible on their instruments. Similarly, the raw and powerful ensemble of nine trombones offers an extra fortefortissimo layer, too – not for the faint of heart!
