A little taste from my upcoming solo album to be released here and on Spotify.

Dying For Love

Recorded with a bag of potatoes and mixed by eye. All amplifiers and half the pickups made by myself under the influence of impressive amounts of alcohol. You have been warned.

Revolvers and petunias

Hi guys! 

This is the second pre-release from my home-recorded concept album called "No light at the end of the world". It's an album where i play a lot with genres, instruments and soundscapes. When i recorded it, I felt as though i was in a pink floydish bubble, and i loved it. This track is called "Nice To Know You" and is dedicated to the many friends i've lost in death and also to the friends i've lost over the years for various reasons. 

This is for you.

History

This is a track that i wrote for a film that's never gonna see the light of day because business is what it is sometimes. I love this track thought and I'm sure i'll be able to use it on some of my other future films. Enjoy!

Majestic Orchestral Sampling
www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/largo/
Ever since we started our phrase-based sampling odyssey there’s been something we’ve longed to capture: The slow and stately sound of strings melodies, woodwind chord ensembles and smooth brass lines have been on our wish-list for years. Now, we present “Largo”, where we have finally created a set of performances that typify the kind of scoring of classic film scores and historical features. The emphasis here is on strong thematic writing with smooth, yet dramatic transitions between the notes.

In musical terminology, “Largo” literally means slow and we took this at face value, asking our orchestra to perform at a stately 75 BPM. That doesn’t mean that you can only use these phrases for sombre pieces as the engine adapts the phrase playback to any speed of project. With Largo we always kept versatility in mind. This means legato, portamento, staccato and staccatissimo styles have been captured, as well as harmonics, glissandi and many other techniques which are impossible to reproduce realistically with traditional multi-sampled orchestral libraries. Largo covers many bases with pristinely captured performances available in all root keys.
More than ever, the “Harmonic Shift” functionality of the interface comes into its own. As Largo contains so much strong thematic material, it’s really inspiring to utilize the Harmonic Shift capabilities to create unexpected melodies and harmonies.
Of course all of the stuff you would expect in a Sonokinetic phrase-based instrument is there, so if you've used any of our instruments before you will be able to put Largo to work right away without any trouble. Within minutes you'll be adding themes and melodies to your palette. 
Using our midi drag and drop functionality to double the orchestral phrases with your own instruments has never been easier. The full score is also available within the interface so you can peek under the hood and see how the phrases have been composed and this also makes Largo a valuable learning tool. 

We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce Largo 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 Largo Production Team
