Blood and Gold - Cinematic Western

This pack pays homage to the Spaghetti Western soundtracks by the great composers of 1960s Italy like Ennio Morricone, Luis Bacalov, Bruno Nicolai, and Stelvio Cipriani. Some films that served as inspiration included Blood and Dust, A Desert of Gold, and The Devil Came to Town. These scores possess a unique quality that is irresistible for sampling. Western soundtracks have been famously sampled by acts like Jay-Z, Hans Zimmer, Flying Lotus, Eminem, and The Orb. Our collaborator, guitarist Luke O'Malley brought a modern flare to the pack, making it versatile for all types of creators. Instruments in the pack include banjo, classical guitar, lap steel, a 966 Fender Coronado, two custom guitars Luke had built while working on the Red Dead Redemption 2 video game score, and more. It's not a Spaghetti Western sound without some fuzz. We processed these sounds using a Lightpedal by Gamechanger Effects, CXM 1978 reverb by Chase Bliss, Catalainbread Fuzzrite (a recreation of the Mosrite fuzz that was used on all the Spaghetti Westerns), and a Black Cat Monster K-fuzz, among others.
