The Art of Orchestral Sampling II : Sonuscore : Compose Without
Limits !
Hosted by Vin Curigliano of AAVIM Technology, I am joined by guest
co-host Pete Brown of Microsoft, and special guest Tilman Sillescu,
who is the co-founder of Sonuscore, who are a leading, highly
respected and widely used Orchestral sample library and instrument
developer.
We discuss Tilman's history in music and technology, his early
forays into scoring and composition for games, initially finding
success using sample libraries which then lead to larger projects
utilizing full orchestras.
We cover the motivation to venture into Orchestral sample library
development , and explore some of the shortcomings with other
available libraries, that the team wanted to address when
developing the Sonuscore libraries and instruments.
We navigate Sonuscores milestone releases and innovations, various
sample playback engines, the behind the scenes drive for creativity
and design, and their partnerships with other 3rd party developers.
We also cover the day to day back end mechanisms for distribution,
delivery, licensing, etc.
We discuss the emerging technologies and potential impacts to the
industry, weigh up the pro's and cons of AI, get side tracked with
some stories of outback aussie adventures in classic cars , and
much, much more !
