Orchestral Tools has announced the release of the latest collaboration with celebrated composer Richard Harvey.
Delving into Harvey’s vast musical instrument collection, Monolith delivers a powerful, contemporary ensemble of cinematic percussion, with a dynamic array of unique, rare, and antique drums.
Monolith offers the contemporary composer a vast range of curated percussion options that have been carefully sculpted for maximum sonic range and playability.
