A new hybrid instrument for EZkeys, literally as diverse as the universe
For most of us, the anatomy of sound and its inner workings as a creative catalyst is a peculiar thing. The moment we hear something we cant define a new instrument our minds inevitably open up to interpretations beyond the convention. Sound becomes visuals that in turn transform into tangible ideas. This library of sounds for EZkeys is a prime example of just that.

EZkeys Cinematic Pads is based around several analogue and modular synths as well as a vintage grand piano and an electric bowed guitar. Together, these components form a never-before-heard hybrid instrument of reverberant, peculiar, fluttering, ominous, visceral, fluid and literally out-of-this-world audio landscapes. With this at hand, youre an intrepid explorer at the helm of an audio vessel headed straight into the unknown weightlessly drifting through an interstellar cosmos en route to uncharted sonic frontiers.

If you let yourself go, youll enter a realm where the divide between reality and dream is nothing but a lucid gradient ready for you to pierce though.
