Braam is not a traditional physical instrument, but a powerful cinematic sound effect (virtual instrument) that has become an absolute standard in modern film and trailer music.

Main features:

• Sound: It is a massive, low-frequency, rumbling, and often aggressive sound. It resembles an apocalyptic blast of a huge ship's horn, heavy metallic scraping, or an alarm signal.

• Origin: This sound gained massive popularity after the release of the movie "Inception" (2010) with music by Hans Zimmer, which is why it is often called the Inception Horn.

• How it is created: As a rule, it is the result of complex sound design. The base is formed by powerful low brass instruments (trombones, tubas, French horns). Then they are layered over heavy synthesizer basses and heavily processed with effects: distortion, saturation, and deep reverberation.

Today, Braam exists in the form of ready-made samples and libraries for virtual synthesizers (VST plugins), which composers use to instantly give a track scale, tension, or an epic feel.
