Inspired by large-scale film music, Christopher von Deylen (SCHILLER) develops his own epic orchestral sound on “EPIC”. For this, he combines his atmospheric soundscapes with emotional orchestral arrangements to create a gigantic head cinema soundtrack.

SCHILLER collaborated for the recordings with the 40-piece symphonic orchestra of the famous Synchron Stage in Vienna, where Hans Zimmer or James Newton Howard have already recorded. “Working with forty creative people was a breathtaking experience,” says SCHILLER looking back. “Although there are now sound libraries with excellent samples, real instruments are fortunately irreplaceable.

You immediately feel a wonderful, powerful energy. Being in a huge space full of collective creative power is incredibly inspiring. On “Epic” I try to capture this mood and transfer it to the listener.” On “EPIC” there are twelve opulent pieces on which the unique SCHILLER sound merges with fantasy and fiction. Each track is a self-contained musical narrative with goosebumps guaranteed.

The Deluxe Edition contains the album “Epic” on CD and the Blu-ray in a Digipak with a 24-page booklet. The BluRay includes the complete album in Dolby Atmos multichannel sound, extensive behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive orchestral performances.
