Avant-Gardist: Tonally Prepared Cinematic Piano

Beautiful unique Kontakt instrument preset presentation playthrough.

Yes, it is a VERY special isntrument.

No, it is not just another prepared piano. It is literally a new, unique set of tonal cinematic acoustic instruments which you can play like a piano but… they don’t sound like a standard or prepared piano. Avant-Gardist has the most original, yet natural and beautifully organic sound you can imagine. It can be dark, it can be subtle, it can be unpredictable or warm (and simultaneously extraordinary and cinematic!). Recorded and sampled with techniques which aren’t used in piano libraries (explained below). And yes, it’s dirty, sometimes out of tune and full of artifacts. You can hear and feel the pianist sitting at the keyboard.

Why does it sound so unique? Imagine a group of pianists. Each of them plays only on one piano string with their fingers, horsehairs, chains, ebows, sticks, patafix, magnets, kitchen strainers, etc. And what’s the most important: they play tonally. Even more: each string has it’s own close stereo microphones (instead of standard mics positioned farther to record a whole piano) And finally: patches use creative sampling techniques (which keep samples acoustic and almost unprocessed). This is how Avant-Gardist sounds.

In other words: it allows you to achieve tonal articulations that aren’t possible to be played by one pianist and a sound which does not exist in a standard instrumental library. Including highly playable unique melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic multi-articulation instruments, tonal and non-tonal playable textures, loops and creative menus, even piano noise & ASMR.

Avant-Gardist is made for cinematic composers not only as one-of-a-kind instrument but also as an inspiring sonic palette. Just play a few notes of random patch and it will instantly inspire you with fresh musical ideas. Especially if you’re looking for a set of instruments ranging from thriller, dark, horror, through unique signature sound to intimate, subtle and mellow tone.

In Avant-Gardist you will find the following types of patches:

ONE PLAYER ENSEMBLE instruments are the most complex. They use multi-articulation velocity layers with 5 fake round robins on each layer. We have used the fake round robin technique because it sounds way more interesting and original than classic round-robins. As a result, each Avant-Gardist key gives much more colors than pianos recorded with the classic “rr” technique. It’s beautifully unpredictable.

INSPIRATIONS catalog includes a wide range of instruments focused on a specific playable sound or texture. Just play random patches and feel the inspiration and musical ideas flowing to you. Some of them have round robins [rr], some are one-shots [os]. All of them are playable and tonal.

NOISE & ASMR this is something extra for those who like to layer instruments with organic, natural sound. You will find here keys mechanism, piano noises (e.g. creaks), piano ASMR, room ambience, even player foleys. All patches are round robin which make them... playable.

CREATIVE MENUS are ten menus full of one-shot samples placed one after another on a keyboard. As composers we know how important is to have a huge, consistent, and inspiring set of sound effects, hits, pings, fills, swells, textures, reversed sounds and loops which allow you to find the best sample without the need of changing the patch. So we put as much as we could into ten menus filled with a wide selection of cinematic sounds.

LOOPS: one key plays one rhythmic layer. To play creative rhythms, simply play a few notes or a whole cluster. Available in 120BPM and 90BPM (but they also automatically play in any other BPM set in DAW).
