REQ: Westwood Instruments Bass Untamed

BASS UNTAMED takes our Untamed series down to the deepest depths. 3 full octaves and 222 individual improvised notes. From soulful, fragile undertones to snarling and thunderous growls. Not for the traditionalist, and not for the faint of heart. This is for fans of alternative scores and inspired by composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Jed Kurzel and Jonny Greenwood.

It’s here to inspire your writing and is really at home with minimalist compositions where tone and sound do more talking than melody.

Also introducing a new sound which we call Storms; a bold and unapologetic way to create thunderous cinema-shaking crescendos. As well as all of the this, there are 7 other classic long and short note articulations which complement the other instruments in the series.
