Westwood Instruments has released a new Kontakt Player-powered toolkit featuring virtual instruments for scoring and songwriting.
A love letter to Americana and the modern Western, Novella Blackwater delivers over 130 articulations from a selection of instruments, including chamber strings with legato, solo violin with legato, harmonium, electric guitars, steel and nylon acoustic guitars, mandola, trumpet, harmonica, hickory piano, and drums & percussion.
This is a mountainous range of sounds, taking inspiration from the homestead of Americana and contemporary Western cinema, with a modern approach and very versatile palette of sounds to suit multiple styles.
An outstanding string ensemble lead the band, surrounded by a remarkable selection of spirited solo instruments. Backing everything up is a rusty oil barrel and a medley of unconventional percussion.
A resilient force of ideas for film scores. An expansive plain of sounds for songwriting. We invite you to explore new horizons and prepare yourself for the wild!
Novella Blackwater is available to purchase at an introductory 30% discount until January 31st, 2025 (regular $349 USD / €349 EUR / £299 GBP). A bundle with Novella Origin is also available, and owners of Novella Origin are eligible for a 40% loyalty discount on Blackwater.
