Sonora Cinematic Penombra Viole

NewReleased 2026

Dark, slowly swelling textures built from three violas each playing long, freely shaped notes, layered with e-bow and fuzz guitar and processed into 12 presets that range from near-acoustic to thoroughly strange. Part of Sonora Cinematic's Founder's Locker series of small experimental instruments, with a cello companion called Penombra Celli. It is not a Kontakt library: it needs Audiomodern's free Soundbox player, version 1.3 or later, which runs as a plug-in, standalone or on iPad.
