The Strings that work for you
https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/classical/orchestral-strings/
We are very proud to present our take on Orchestral Strings to you.
We have spent the best part of five years working on this project and have left no stone unturned to create a product that, as a multisampled String Orchestra alone, will satisfy even the most demanding users. But this collection is so much more than that. Orchestral Strings is the culmination of all of our efforts and experience to this point. It melds together everything that we've learned about multisampling over the years, combined with our knowledge of orchestral phrases.
At its core, Orchestral Strings is a hugely capable full-divisi full-size Strings section, recorded with the fantastic Capellen Orchestra in Zlin, Czech Republic. It is edited with the utmost care to preserve all the details and character of the performances.
We covered all of the most-used articulations in up to four velocities, and we devised a 'shared tail' system for the shorts that provides you with a greater variety of round robins without unnecessarily increasing the memory load.
Poly-Legato and Auto Divisi ensure the most realistic sound imaginable. No corners were cut in making this product, and it will evolve for many years to come. In fact, we still have some surprises up our sleeves that will enhance your user experience and provide tools that are useful and fun in equal measure.
Included within the instrument are some powerful midi engines with midi import, real-time midi manipulation, a piano roll editor and midi export. The possibilities are near endless once you scratch the surface, yet very easily accessible if you just want to compose quickly.
The Runs engine will trigger and play silky smooth runs whilst you hold chord notes. Just play a start and end key and these runs will adhere to your chosen chords and transition between all the applicable notes automatically.
The Phrases engine at its core works as a sketchpad for Patterns, with the core 12 patterns auto-saved with your instrument or DAW session. Going further, a potential 12 x 12 x 12 phrases can be saved away to be shared between your instruments and projects.
These phrases are then playable in a fashion very similar to the way our Phrase-Based instruments work. You can even drag in phrases from the Phrase-Based products you already own, edit them and tweak them to your liking, vastly boosting the flexibility of this Strings instrument. You can even drag out the midi for entire played passages including any chord changes, added Harmony etc. for use in third-party instruments or for instance to add a synth layer for a hybrid sound!
We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce Sonokinetic Orchestral Strings to you and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer, 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 model and high-quality sampling.
We wish you the best of inspiration and creativity. With warm regards,
The Sonokinetic Orchestral Strings Production Team

If you are curious to learn more about Chinese piano music, here are 5 reasons to discover Chinese piano music. 

1. Yin and Yang. This principle of the Chinese philosophy describes how obviously opposite forces may actually be complementary in the natural world, and how they may enrich  each other as they interrelate to one another. You will experience this philosophy emotionally when you hear how the melancholic and atmospheric sounding piano pieces and the staccato dancing, bouncing rhythmic fast pieces give rise to each other.
2. In Chinese musical symbolism the flowing chords, arpeggios and runs imitate water, which stands in their philosophy for emotions. You will get carried away by the manifold water elements in the piano music.
3. The music has flowing structures and is often using the high register of piano. This gives the music a peaceful and calm sound. You will feel how relaxing it is.
4. The music takes you in a world full of fantasy. Already the titles of the compositions stands for the mystery of Chinese culture: „Silver clouds chasing the moon”, „Twin Butterflies“, „Blue Sunset on the red-coloured river“ or „The Flowery Moon Night of Spring River”. Most of them are expressing the natural beauty of flowers, birds and landscapes.
5. Many piano pieces are folk song arrangements and are rooted in the Chinese culture. You will discover how Chinese composers express the beauty of the land and people by using Western compositional techniques. It is a living developing music.

If you are in Munich on the 11th of February it would be a pleasure if you join me on my “World Piano Tour”. I will play for you the amazing Chinese piano music and talking about my favourite compositions

Two chinese songs - Why Are The Flowers So Red and Wo Song

On February 24, 2022, at 5 am, Russian bombs began to fall on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. The perfidious invasion of Russian troops forever changed the history and face of this country. Every day, civilians and soldiers who defend their homeland are getting killed. This war is senseless and merciless. No decent person can remain indifferent. The Chitra Records label also took on a small mission of helping to rebuild Ukraine. We teamed up with ambient and neoclassical musicians from all over the world and released a two-hour compilation of calming, peaceful, and experimental ambient music. Our goal is to raise funds for the civilians of Ukraine. All proceeds from the digital sales of the compilation on Bandcamp for the first two weeks from the release date (until March 21, 2022) will be sent to the Red Cross Society of Ukraine.

Music is a powerful calming force. We want this war to end as soon as possible. On March 21, we will publish the receipt of the donation transfer.

We ask for your help and support: tell your friends about this compilation and repost it on your social media.

Idyll - Improvised Piano Piece

This album is a vibrant collection of original Baroque Concerto Grosso pieces, designed to transport listeners to the grandeur and intricate elegance of the 17th century. It explores the dynamic interplay between a small group of soloists (the concertino) and the full string orchestra (the ripieno), showcasing the characteristic terraced dynamics, driving rhythms, and ornate melodic lines of the era.

My orchestral version of Chopin's "military" Polonaise in A major op.40 n°1

Chopin "Military" Polonaise op.40 n°1 (orchestral version)

Cathédrales de Paris – Six Méditations Symphoniques is an immersive orchestral journey through the spiritual, architectural, and musical heart of Paris. Each movement is dedicated to one of the city’s most iconic churches—Notre-Dame, Sacré-Cœur, Saint-Sulpice, Sainte-Chapelle, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and La Madeleine—capturing its unique atmosphere, history, and sonic character.
Blending the monumental grandeur of Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony, the luminous harmonies of Debussy, the sacred lyricism of Fauré, and the soaring theatrical spirituality of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu, this suite moves from the solemn toll of cathedral bells to the shimmering light of stained glass, from chant-like intimacy to blazing organ-and-orchestra climaxes.
Recorded in a virtual cathedral acoustic with expansive dynamic range and rich instrumental detail, these meditations are at once reverent and cinematic—an ode to Paris’ timeless sacred spaces and the human spirit they continue to inspire.
