Strike

Grit, Tension, and Sonic Mayhem

STRIKE is a cutting-edge cinematic instrument by Ergo Kukke, designed for high-impact, suspenseful scoring. Perfect for action and stealth-driven compositions, it blends live recordings with top-tier synths and sound design, drawing inspiration from The Day of the Jackal and Cyberpunk 2077.

Featuring deep sound-shaping tools, FX, and intuitive randomization, STRIKE lets you create dynamic, modern rhythmic textures. Its raw, processed sounds come from sources like abandoned military sites, wrecked vehicles, and unique instruments like electric guitar and handpan.

STRIKE breaks away from the norm — bold, unpredictable, and sonically intense. It’s the follow-up to Celestial Visions and Cyber Core, and a must-have for composers seeking a fresh, hybrid sound.
