ILIO to Distribute Sonic Reality Products
February 21, 2000
ILIO Entertainments has entered into an agreement
with Sonic Reality to begin distributing their line of sample libraries
worldwide. By working with this highly regarded producer, ILIO strengthens
its position as an influential sample distributor.
Founded
by musician and producer Dave Kerzner, Sonic Reality has worked for several
years to produce a line of products aimed at the professional sampling
musician. Their first releases include Vintage Timetraveler, featuring
synths, keys, guitars and drums from the 60s, 70s and 80s,
and Interactive Drum Kits, a kits-only drum disc that features up to 50
hits per snare. Concert Grand Pianos offers two Yamaha concert grands
sampled in first-call L.A. studios, and American Heartland, highlights
guitars, winds and percussion plucked from the deep South. Final versions
of these products will begin shipping in February for most sampler formats,
including Akai®, Emu EOS®, Kurzweil®, Roland® and Unity.
More products are scheduled for release during the year.
"Sonic
Realitys commitment to excellence isnt lost on us," says
Mark Hiskey of ILIO. "Weve always sought the best sounding
and most thoughtful products for our catalog. Sonic Realitys team
is on the same mental plane as we are, and they produce top-quality, useful
and inspiring libraries, so were thrilled to have them onboard."
For
over 10 years Sonic Reality has been sampling, programming and developing
sound libraries for a number of highly successful music companies and
recording artists. Their programmers names can be found on many
critically acclaimed CD-ROM sound libraries, keyboard products and hit
records. Founded by musician and producer Dave Kerzner, their approach
has been to make musical instrument libraries that are extremely flexible
for production and inspiring to play.
