Peace

Peace is an artistic statement against armed conflicts and the current state of the world.

Peace might be one of the most beautiful and meaningful projects we've ever taken part in - from its core concept all the way to its execution.

The Instrument:

Peace is a one-of-a-kind bowed instrument created using the shell of a missile.

The idea was to use something originally created to destroy, to create art as a statement against armed conflicts and the current state of this world.

DustBowl Cinematic created a beautiful instrument with two completely independent resonance boxes. One of them being the empty shell, located where a Cello resonance box would be, and a second resonance box 3 metres high from the ground, projecting sound downwards toward the musician through a military helmet.

Peace was recorded to be completely compatible with Crescent, meaning all the arcs, crescendi, decrescendi, etc. fit perfectly when used together.

The Recording:

'Peace' was recorded meticulously to capture all the resonance and colours the instrument can offer.

Because the instrument consists of two resonance boxes, we created Mixes both in Stereo and Ambisonics to fill your music in innovative ways.

Peace comes with 4 Stereo Mixes (Mix, Body, Helmet, and Binaural) as well as 4 Ambisonics Mixes (Mix, Body, Helmet, and Audience), which can be used in any Dolby Atmos project.

Peace offers a next-generation Adaptive Polyphonic Legato, which automatically adjusts the legato to your playing speed, allowing you to play from very slow to very fast passages.

Additionally, full polyphony, on-the-fly articulation switches, multiple dynamics, and two types of legatos (portamento and finger-on legato), allow you to create music without having to look at your computer once.
