MIGHT AND MAJESTY
Horns, horns, horns, the horns of war dimly echoed. With this FREE instrument, hear “the great horns of the north wildly blowing”, calling back such great medieval combat scenes like in Lord of the Rings and Vikings.
These horn blasts were captured outside at the Stenhamra quarry near Stockholm, Sweden. On the ancient route to the revered city of Uppsala, it was an important waypoint for many a Viking traveler. And it also provided us with a perfect atmosphere and reflections for our recordings.
Bronze lur – The surviving example of a wind instrument from the Bronze Age in Scandinavia. We used a copy of a horn that originally dates back some three thousand years and is now housed in the Copenhagen National Museum.
Bukkehorn – This bukkehorn, made from the horn of a billy goat, is one of the earliest known types of lip-vibrating instruments.
Neverlur – The Norsemen carefully nurtured select pine trees to craft this horn. After the pine is cut in half and carved out, it is kept in horn shape by birch bark strips. The Viking Sagas often make reference to this horn.
SHAPE THE SONIC FURY
The Warhorns Kontakt library comes equipped with a variety of controls that allow you to shape your sound exactly the way you want – especially important for the instable nature of the Viking war horn.
The Shape controls for Attack, Tuning, and Speed ensures that you can achieve the perfect pitch and timing for your compositions. In addition, there are EQ settings for lows, mids, and highs allow you to fine-tune your sound to fit your mix perfectly.
With the Warhorns Kontakt library, you can push the sound even further. With the added FX controls, you can mangle your warhorns even further, creating potent blasts of fury with an aggressive, modern edge.
