Which technique are the winds using here?

[Swordfish392 3]

Hi there,

 

could anyone listen to the passage at around 5:05 of this soundtrack: (just click on the grey listen reg. download buttons to the right)

Luckily I got the original full pdf score for the specific cue, and it says that tuba and trombones, as well as bari and bass sax are playing among others.

But how do they get this "buzzing bee" sound? Any idea? Is this like a special technique they are using?

 

cheers!

Swordfish

What you're hearing is simply the harsh attack instruments from the trombone/tuba family tend to produce at that dynamic level, especially when playing a low passage as heard in the cue above.

 

Check out a review of a brass sample library and you'll hear what I mean:
