Cinematique Instruments

The history of Cinematique Instruments began in the 90s of the last millennium. We (Rene Dohmen and Joachim Dürbeck) already worked with samplers back then - at that time it was gear such as the Ensoniq EPS16+ or AKAI S-1000. It was important for us to work with our own loops and samples in order to give our music something special - our own unique sound world. Due to the fact that there were no sound libraries or other commercial sound sources at that time, we were inventive and generated all sounds ourselves with microphones or other sources - a fact that gives us still a different understanding of sound today. And this approach to sound is still an integral part of our work today - no matter whether we compose music for feature films or theatres or produce bands or artists. As filmmusic composers 'Dürbeck & Dohmen' we have written the music for over 100 films over the last 25 years and made a name for ourselves in Germany and far beyond with our signature sound. This was then also awarded the German Music Prize for Authors in 2017. - if you like to get more infos about our film scores, please visit our website.

Cinematique Instruments - In 2009 we decided to found a special company to share and distribute these instruments and sounds we created ourselves on the basis of the Kontakt Sampler on the internet. We try to see things differently, improve what's good and just let unnecessary things go - it's probably the fact that we're both users and manufacturers that shows us what you really need to make music. And apparently we manage to convey that idea, because from the first second it was a success and until today Cinematique Instruments stands for what we really care about: Innovation and inspiration.
