Spitfire Audio releases Albion V Tundra for Kontakt Player with Intro Offer

Spitfire Audio has released Albion V Tundra — the fifth entry in its range of compositional tools that provide everything needed to make modern film music out of the box.

Albion V Tundra draws inspiration from the minimalist work of Arvo Pärt and the burgeoning Nordic community, recording a 100-piece orchestra playing never-before-sampled instructions at the very edge of silence to capture the Scandinavian zeitgeist.
