Impressionism

Impressionism is a love letter to 150 years of Impressionist art, our latest creation offers a brightly hued palette of instrumental sounds to inspire your next masterpiece. Designed to be your track-one go to, Impressionism enlivens the blank canvas under impasto daubs of brass; pastel washes of strings and woodwinds, shimmering touches of harps and vibraphones; and fine-tipped trills, clouds, and atonal clusters — all layered in with the turn of a mod wheel.

Just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.

Charles Baudelaire

Comprising uniquely expressive performances from some of the UK's leading instrumentalists, Impressionism's sounds overflow with vibrant shades of emotion. Unorthodox combinations of instruments swirl together, with each note evolving across three distinct phases to create fluid, delicate brushstrokes of sound.

Impressionism is less a means for applying fine detail and finishing touches to your music than a powerful toolkit for quickly and directly capturing the emotions that inspire it. It is a totally unique toolkit for creating beautiful musical shapes, textures and gestures.
