OBLIQUE: DARK CELLO EXPLORATIONS

OBLIQUE is a Kontakt instrument off the beaten path. A broken, haunting, sometimes terrifying yet an incredibly expressive cello instrument. This is most definitely not the instrument you want to create beautiful, epic, soaring melodies — it is a nasty beast, one that latches onto the dark corners of the mind and doesn’t let go.

We recorded master cellist Sonia Bruno taking her instrument to the absolute extremes, from the utmost pianissimo super sul tasto to the most brutal bowing we’ve ever heard, creating sheer insanity and aggression.

OBLIQUE II: DARK BASS EXPLORATIONS

OBLIQUE II is the second instrument in the OBLIQUE series. It is a damaged, twisted, brutal but incredibly expressive double bass instrument. Like the cello in OBLIQUE, this is not an instrument for creating soothing music — it's brimming with sharp edges and blunt force.

Alberto Moreno Guier is the bassist behind the tortured, obscure sounds in OBLIQUE II. His mastery of the double bass allowed us to capture powerful performances within a massive dynamic range, perfect for psychological thrillers and terrifying horror sequences.

OBLIQUE III: DARK VIOLIN EXPLORATIONS

OBLIQUE III is the long-awaited third chapter in our Oblique series of solo string libraries, focused on creating moods typical of genres like thrillers, dark drama and horror. It features symphonic violinist Ingrid Solano using her stellar skills to conjure haunting, tortured and emotionally damaged sounds out of her instrument.

This is not a violin library meant for composing romantic comedies or beautiful heartwarming pieces. It’s meant to put darkness and madness at your fingertips, to underline scenes that portray fear, anxiety and hopelessness.

OBLIQUE III has been recorded with extreme dynamics, from a pianissimo super sul tasto to a violent fortissimo. And with features like the Despair control, you can easily shift from a feeling of uneasiness all the way to the realm of terror.
