⚔️ The Ancient Sound of War & Ritual

In collaboration with ancient instruments expert Francesco Landucci, we resurrected the lost voices of Roman military and sacred traditions, capturing:

• 🐏 Roman Cornu, Lituus, Tuba – Commanding brass blasts with ancient majesty

• 🎐 Aulos & Goat Horns – Breath-driven tones for dark rituals and tension

• 🪘 Timpana War Drums & Crotala – Percussive intensity from authentic Roman rhythms

All instruments were recorded in stereo with close and room mics, giving you full control from intimate breathiness to epic reverb-drenched grandeur.
