All the power and beauty of the human voice at your fingertips… Our largest choir recorded to date, this highly anticipated library features 50 of London’s finest singers, recorded in two sections (Sopranos & Altos/Tenors & Basses). Available in our easy-to-use plugin, Epic Choir offers instant inspiration for film and TV scoring — featuring various shorts, longs, as well as vowel-blending ‘episodic’ textures, inspired by gothic and mediaeval chanting.

The treated ‘Ethereal’ signal, made using a range of post-production FX, adds texture, brightness and width, while preserving the organic feel of the vocals.
