Published July 2025

EastWest Ancient Kingdom

EastWest explore the world of traditional wind instruments with characteristic style in their latest sample library.

For film, TV or video game composers working in fantasy genres or world music styles, a virtual collection of traditional instrument sounds is an important part of their sonic toolkit. EastWest’s latest release — Ancient Kingdom — is aimed squarely at these kinds of use cases, providing a tour of some of the world’s most distinctive traditional wind instruments. EastWest have collaborated with virtuoso wind player and composer Saulis Petreikis and the result is a deeply sampled virtual selection from Saulis’ own collection of instruments. The library uses EastWest’s excellent Opus front end and is available as either a perpetual licence, or as part of the ComposerCloud+ subscription.
