As well as covering the usual performance bases in depth, Soniccouture make a point of playing their sampled instruments in unconventional ways (hence 'deconstructed'). In the case of EP73, this includes striking the instrument's tines with a small steel mallet, creating a lovely cross between a child's toy piano and an African kalimba. The tines were also bowed (a spooky, synth-like slithering texture) and plucked with a plectrum, making a beautifully precise, metallic timbre reminiscent of a musical box. In addition, a sound-effects menu contains eerie, harp-like glissandi, scrapes and worrisome knockings, along with some genuinely scary, disembodied howling noises you'd never guess originally emanated from a Fender Rhodes.
