OBLIQUE: Dark Cello Explorations

IMPORTANT: This product requires the full version of Kontakt 6.5.2 or higher. It will not work with Kontakt Player..

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.
