Solo instruments and ensembles
With this collection, we aimed to provide enough detail to allow you to create complex arrangements, and add the nuance of the muted sound to the widest possible range of compositions. So you get solo instruments for definition, with a choice of instruments (1 and 2) for convincing voicings. The ensembles are on hand to add character to more ‘wide-screen’ pieces.
About the sound
The sound of muted brass has long been a celebrated staple of classical orchestration, used by composers from Strauss and Stravinsky to John Williams and Bert Kaempfert. Muted brass adds a rich character to any brass ensemble, and while it’s often associated with adding a humorous note, the raspy, edgy sound is capable of so much more. Try adding a muted trumpet to a piece with two lead trumpets. Or try combining muted brass with woodwinds or percussion—tubular bells with muted marcatos, for example. Be prepared to discover nuances you weren’t expecting!
Multiple mutes
You get three types of mutes to work with: The regular straight mutes, Harmon mutes, and effect mutes. You even get variants for the Harmon mutes, with the stem of the mute either all-in or half-in. The horns were recorded ‘stopped’, with the player holding their fist in the bell of the instrument.
Part of the Berlin Brass series
The same uncompromising technical set-up, the same seating positions for the first-call Berlin musicians and, of course, the sound of the perfectly balanced Teldex Scoring Stage—all of this combines to ensure that Muted Brass dovetails perfectly with the Berlin Brass Main Collection, and the rest of the Berlin Series.
