I write science fiction and the creative juices flow best when I'm listening to music that carries me away from the 'logical' and mundane. I've discovered that epic trailer music is perfect for /me/. 
Favs include Two Steps From Hell, Audio Machine, and Jo Blankenberg to name just a few.

With Minimal, Sonokinetic BV delivers the fourth installment in our current range of orchestral instruments. We have listened to our users, and built an entirely new system from the ground up, defining what we think is a revolutionary novel direction in orchestral pattern-based sampling. 

Minimal would suggest a particular music style, and many of the patterns available in this instrument are very well suited for that style. However, we’d like to stress that this is indeed a very flexible instrument, capable of enhancing a broad range of musical arrangements and compositions in a wide variety of styles. Where Minimal differs from libraries like Tutti and Vivace is in its section-based approach. All phrases are recorded per orchestral section and can be used separately or together and in any combination, allowing for a great deal of variations at your fingertips.

The first thing that would strike you is the non-apologetic interface style without any gloss.  Apart from this being a respectful nod to our Dutch art heritage on the outside, it also very much references the “form follows function” approach that Dutch design is famous for. There are no superfluous elements and we’ve arranged everything in an intuitive way. You have every control in one screen within an uncrowded workspace. You might not suspect it from just looking at it, but there are a lot of complex functionalities at your disposal from this one screen. Discover more about those in the detailed descriptions right here in the user manual and on the tutorial videos available on our website: www.sonokinetic.net.

Recordings for Minimal took place in Zlin, Czech Republic, in the same hall and with the same team responsible for recording Tutti and Vivace. The performances have been edited with the same meticulous attention to detail and quality.

Many innovative functions grace this instrument, mostly under the hood, as we believe that technology is at its best when you don’t notice it. One of the functions that might need a bit more introduction is the harmonic shift function. This element of Minimal can lead to great sounding results and also serve as a very rewarding inspirational tool.  So please read and digest the part of this manual dedicated to that function. 

More visibly, and in lieu of popular request, we have found a way to greatly improve the score view. Despite the pixel restrictions of the Kontakt window we’ve managed to squeeze in a clear and accurate score view, although you can still order a digital full-scale copy of the score, if you so desire.

We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce Minimal to you, and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer base, will produce with it.

Sonokinetic has established a name as one of the best value & quality sample producers and with this product we’d like to underline that statement. We stick with our unbeatable pricing module and high quality sampling.

We wish you the best inspiration and creativity. 

With warm regards, The Sonokinetic Minimal Production Team

dos brains, trailer and production music house proudly presents the debut solo album “Elements” of german-based composer Dirk Ehlert. 
After more than one year in the making “Elements” takes you on a sonic journey through time and space, history and future, darkness and light. 
Dirk interweaves his musical history from symphonic metal with his experience of being a successful trailer music composer since more than 5 years with influences of world music, classical music, electronica and film scoring.

“Elements” features world class vocal performances by Úyanga Bold (Hans Zimmer - The Dark Night Suite @ The Masterpiece Experience, Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch), Celica Soldream (Neal Acree, Ivan Torrent), Laurie Ann Haus (Todesbonden, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty) , Gaby Koss (Haggard, Nota Profana and Equilibrium), Merethe Soldvedt (Two Steps From Hell, BrandX) and Julie Elven (Neal Acree, Ivan Torrent) as well as Cello performances by Vesislava Todorova (Bulgarian National Radio Orchestra) and Caro Teruel (Venezuela).

The album was produced in Dirks studio near Berlin, Germany and mixed & mastered by Mathieu Hallouin, France.

I'm an Indie scifi writer, and acflory is my...nom de plume. :D My friends call me Meeks. I love big, epic music, and softer piano music that matches different characters in my stories. Most of my playlists are named for one of those characters. When not writing or getting on with life, I play MMOs. You can find me on my blog: https://acflory.wordpress.com
