Hi everyone,
Has anybody else heard about this $99 Orchestra?
http://www.99dollarorchestra.com/#meltdown-tour
Basically, it's a 7 minute recording session aimed at recording 30s to 1:30. 30 musicians. So, I'm assuming you'd get a couple practice runs, record (once or twice), and you're done.
Instrumentation options that they're looking at include:
* Fl (picc), Ob, Cl in Bb, 3 trumpets, 4 horns, 2 trombones, 1 Bass Trombone, 17 Strings
* Fl (picc), 2 trumpets, 4 horns, 2 trombones, 1 Bass Trombone, 20 Strings
* 3 trumpets, 6 horns, 2 trombones, 1 bass trombone, 18 Strings
* 8 horns, 4 trombones, 1 bass trombone, 17 Strings
* 1 Fl (picc), 2 trumpets, 2 horns, 25 Strings
* also the option of trading out an instrument for grand piano
OK.....SO.....this is not something you're probably going to be using for a project. BUT......for those of us starting out.....who want to learn more about orchestration and how our music really sounds compared to samples (especially if your template isn't very good).......doesn't this seem like a good option?
If you can write and orchestrate a piece, put it on paper, send it to real musicians, have them play it back and record......for $99......you've gotten more information and knowledge from those findings than any sample library that could be bought for the same money. Or am I wrong on this???
I believe this is the orchestra that will be used; just a 30 person version:

Would love some conversation on this so fire away.
