从传奇中汲取灵感的管弦乐创新
喷火战机的第一个干式配乐舞台组合,灵感来自伯纳德-赫尔曼(Bernard Herrmann)不拘一格的天才。伯纳德-赫尔曼以《公民凯恩》、《惊魂记》、《迷魂记》和《出租车司机》等开创性的配乐而闻名于世,他的遗产至今仍在激励着作曲家们的创作。

我们与伯纳德-赫尔曼(Bernard Herrmann)的遗产独家合作,策划并组建了一套独特的录音室管弦乐合奏,直接借鉴了作曲家的传奇配器美学。我们在第一录音室AIR Studios 由著名工程师西蒙-罗兹(《阿凡达》、《幽灵》、《哈利-波特》、《血战钢锯岭》)录制,捕捉到了赫曼所选择的演奏者的表演--喧闹、活泼、前卫,并配有精选的组别、不同寻常的乐器组合、和弦、效果等补丁。启动这款多用途工具包,即可获得生动而独特的配乐。

生动而独特的配乐
这不是一个"老式"的图书馆。在与赫尔曼遗产密切合作,研究了他最著名的乐谱并了解是什么让他的作品如此特别之后,我们着手策划一系列独特的录音会议,以开发一个现代图书馆,捕捉赫尔曼乐谱所期望的活力水平,适用于各种流派和项目。

这个工具包在 AIR Studios、Studio One 录制,功能强大;它提供了一个工作室管弦乐队,小号和木琴、长号和定音鼓、低音弦乐和喇叭、竖琴和颤音琴等组合,还有马特诺琴、合成器、打击乐、定音鼓等等。

真正的创新者
伯纳德·赫尔曼是一位伟大的现代作曲家。他为电视和电影创作的作品堪称标志性作品,是 20 世纪中期电影的代名词。与奥森·威尔斯合作的《公民凯恩》、与马丁·斯科塞斯合作的《出租车司机》,以及与阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克长期合作的《迷魂记》、《惊魂记》、《群鸟》、《艳贼》等配乐,他创作的重要作品数量之多令人叹为观止。他的作品不仅对当时的文化产生了重大影响,而且最近这些作品还被用来激发当代配乐,即在昆汀·塔伦蒂诺的《杀死比尔》中使用扭曲的神经主题曲——一种诡异的口哨声,现在全世界都能立刻辨认出来。

赫尔曼拥有独特而开创性的作曲风格。他的编曲完全原创、大胆而富有创造力;总是适合当时的背景,随后在电影配乐中产生了巨大的影响。《惊魂记》是一个明显的例子,它以一种全新的方式为惊悚片配乐。大胆选择特定的乐器合奏(他的《惊魂记》配乐以纯弦乐而闻名,而臭名昭著的《冲破帷幕》有 12 支长笛)和有趣的组合(《迷魂记》中的竖琴和颤音琴,《西北偏北》中的止音号和拨弦乐)挑战了现状。同样,他在配乐中对电子乐器的实验也是开创性的——《地球停转之日》中的马特诺琴和《姐妹/无尽之夜》中的放大 Moog 合成器为电影院带来了以前闻所未闻的声音。他还甚至改变了演奏者的表演风格,要求演奏者不要像其他好莱坞作曲家那样采用传统的、有点夸张的演奏方式。

赫尔曼对新音乐有着无限的好奇心和热爱,他支持了几位作曲家的职业生涯,这些作曲家因为他的努力而家喻户晓。他曾担任哥伦比亚广播公司交响乐团的指挥,并与他们一起进行过多次广播,这些都帮助他向广大听众带来了各种各样的音乐。他的声音非常独特,坚决反对他认为的艺术形式的淡化,如今,他在电影作曲家中仍然受到广泛的尊重和影响力。

当 Spitfire Audio 有机会与他的遗产合作时,我们非常兴奋。我们希望开发一个独特的库,为在职作曲家提供各种各样的新声音和可能性,这些都植根于赫尔曼的天才和他的电影配乐方法。

Lively & distinctive scoring
This isn't an 'old style' library. After working closely with the Herrmann estate to examine his most famous scores and understand what makes his work so special, we set about curating a unique series of recording sessions in order to develop a modern library that captures the levels of vitality that you'd expect from a Herrmann score, which works across various genres and projects.

Recorded at AIR Studios, Studio One, this toolkit packs an almighty punch; it offers a studio orchestra, combinations such as trumpet and xylophone, trombones and timpani, low strings and horns, harp and vibraphone, plus an Ondes Martenot, synths, percussion, timpani and much more.

A true innovator
Bernard Herrmann is one of the great modern composers. His work for TV and film is nothing short of iconic, and is synonymous with mid-20th Century cinema. Collaborating with Orson Welles on Citizen Kane, Martin Scorsese on Taxi Driver, and in long-term partnership with Alfred Hitchcock for scores such as Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds, Marnie and beyond, the sheer magnitude of critical works produced is breathtaking. Not only did his work cause significant impact on culture at the time, but more recently those works have been used to invigorate contemporary scores, namely the use of the Twisted Nerve theme in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill — an eerie whistle, now instantly recognisable worldwide.

Herrmann had a unique and trailblazing compositional style. His orchestrations were entirely original, daring and inventive; always appropriate for the context and subsequently incredibly influential in film scoring. Psycho is an obvious example of a totally new way to score a thriller. The bold selection of specific instrumental ensembles (his Psycho score was famed for being strings-only, and the infamous Torn Curtain featured 12 flutes) and choice of interesting combinations (harp and vibraphone in Vertigo, stopped horns and pizzicato strings in North by Northwest) challenged the status quo. Equally his experimentation of electronic instruments in scores was pioneering - the Ondes Martenot in The Day The Earth Stood Still and amplified Moog synths in Sisters/Endless Nights brought previously unheard sounds to cinemas. He also went as far as to effect change in the performance style of players, requesting that players not play in the traditional, somewhat overblown nature that other Hollywood composers would traditionally employ.

 

Herrmann had a limitless curiosity and love of new music, championing the careers of several composers who became household names as a result of his hard work. His work as conductor of the CBS Symphony Orchestra, and the many radio broadcasts he made with them, helped to bring a huge variety of music to a wide audience. His was a truly individual voice, standing firm against what he saw as the dilution of the art form, and he continues to be massively respected and influential among film composers today.

When the opportunity arose for Spitfire Audio to collaborate with his estate, we were beyond excited. We hope to have developed a unique library that provides working composers with a broad variety of new sounds and possibilities, rooted in the genius of Herrmann and his approach to film scoring.
