Interval

Unique sounds, real life and breath

Interval isn’t quite like anything else you've played. It is an instrument which „has real life and breath“ as composer Theodore Shapiro said. Inspired by contemporary compositions Interval pursues a new approach into building sounds. It is hard to explain, but in the broadest sense, it is an instrument for building inspiring pads, organic atmospheres as well as creative arpeggios. You can do things with it you can’t do with anything else.

THE CONCEPT

Interval features two main issues: the extraordinary selection of sound sources (samples) and an unqiue engine to create harmonies.

During the latest recordings of orchestral instruments Cinematique Instruments spent extra time for recording very light and fragile sound articulations. As the result CI is happy to unveil an extraordinary collection of gentle and shimmering long notes of violins, celli, flute and trombones which are breathtaking. To round off this palette of sounds they have added some fine selected sounds such as harmonic violin, ebow guitar, a sine tone and more.

Alone by playing these beautiful sounds in a traditional way like - without using the Interval engine - you will have a great experience of shimmering pads and organic sounds!

This playing will be refined by Intervals engine with what some composer told „It isn’t quite like anything else I’ve played“. It is an easy but astonishing concept. Interval just layers equal intervals (up to eight) on top of each other and the result is a distinct cluster with timbres ranging from bright and clear to complete cacophony. For example, if you are playing an C by a selected fourth interval, Interval will play C-F-Bb-Eb1-Ab1-Db2-B and so on, or a C with a bunch of superimposed fourth notes. And really true, what you now hear is an inspirational sound with unconventional harmonies!
