Modus - Jeff Russo

Designed specifically for TV scoring and underscoring, Modus was commissioned by Emmy-award winning
composer Jeff Russo for his work on Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard.

Perform tensions, transitions, and continuums easily in a variety of symphonic and choral flavors.
And with a palette of unique instrumental colors, you can create sonic worlds that no-one has ever heard before.
