Description : Sonokinetic’s signature sound is considered grand and statuesque by many as we fill our recording space with many talented players and layered phrases in our custom Kontakt engines. However, sometimes it’s great to pick up the pace for a more personal feel, and that’s exactly what we’re doing with Indie. The style of these intimate ensemble phrases has its origins in contemporary TV drama, boutique film, and independent video games with a nude and personal sound.
Recording smaller versions of our string and brass ensembles wasn’t enough this time around, so we also added a huge selection of melodic percussive phrases to them as well. For the first time, string quartet phrases are included, ideal for layering with other ensembles to bring back focus to your compositions. The overall emphasis here is on the lightest touches, from exquisite violin duets and solo clarinet to glissandi harp and softly played hammers.
The melodic drum kit deserves special mention as we tried to capture the subtlety and wonder of these instruments, including the rarely sampled concert dulcimer, a dulcimer-like instrument with a unique sound. The dreamy melodic textures we composed for Indie were exquisitely performed by our performers in the same space as other ensembles. The marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, crotals, piano, celeste and concert harp bring an intense personal feel to the entire collection.
