In This Old Town

Espressivo: Capturing the sound of shock and awe...
https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/espressivo/?ref=scl
Many of our phrase-based libraries are conceived with a specific usage in mind... Maximo for intense action, Sotto for subtle scoring and Grosso for dramatic chases. The performances captured in these libraries have been put to use by our composer base in varied and surprising ways. For this reason we can't wait to hear what you create using our most intense library yet... "Espressivo".
The sounds of horror, terror and suspense are as old as cinema itself, from Herrmann's "Psycho" & "Vertigo" to Goldsmith's "Alien" & "The Omen". These dissonant strings, stabbing brass sections, skittering percussion and aleatoric woodwinds are as synonymous to the genres, making our hair stand on end and forcing us to avert our eyes from the screen. Many other composers such as Krzysztof Penderecki, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Charles Ives have been our inspiration too, creating a palette of sounds which provide both inspiration and intimidation. 
In the recording sessions we pushed our orchestra to their physical and mental limit and they rewarded us with some extraordinary playing techniques that would be just impossible for a composer to pull off using multi-sampled libraries. Our strings, brass, woodwind and percussion players wrung everything out of their instruments. After they were done we wrapped the performances in a brand new Kontakt engine to ensure maximum flexibility and playability from the hundreds of phrases on offer. For the first time ever with a Sonokinetic library you can trigger up to 48 phrases simultaneously (from the hundreds available), all tempo synced and with multiple microphone options. Pads, rhythmic loops, crescendi, melodies and stabs all meld together in one gloriously terrifying instrument sure to add realism, authenticity and a dose of drama to your cues.
We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce Espressivo and can’t wait to hear how you put it to use in your own compositions. We love to hear what our valued customer base can do with our products, so let's work together to create something special.
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.

Origins

A track written to explore the light and dark side of a string quartet while maintaining a child-like character. It contains a variety of articulations, rhythms, and dynamics helps showcase the flexibility of the library.

By Adam Hochstatter

Imaginary Friends

A vivid piece for String Quartet inspired by modern film scores. In the first half the track showcases a lot of short articulations like Spiccatissimo, Spiccato, Staccato and Marcato, with lively Legato lines in the second half.

By Benny Oschmann

New Horizons

With a slow, deliberate but delicate tempo, cello and viola pizzicato form a pleasing bedrock for some emotively melancholy legato and spiccato articulations in the higher registers.

By Iva Zabkar & Hanna Lueke
