Hans has collaborated exclusively with Spitfire Audio to bring you a range of timeless libraries that will elevate your scores. Explore a kaleidoscope of instruments captured in the acoustic luxury of AIR Studios, London, curated by the master storyteller himself.

The blockbuster sound

As with many of Hans’ scores, these libraries were recorded in Lyndhurst Hall at AIR Studios via an impressive signal chain: rarefied microphones into Neve Montserrat preamps, into the world's biggest Neve 88R desk (which was exhaustively regained at every dynamic layer for optimum signal quality), via a dual chain to HDX and Prism converters running at 192k.

Why Spitfire? Because they're reckless and playful.
