Contemporary Drama Toolkit (CDT) is a broadcast-ready scoring instrument that puts emotion first. Developed in collaboration with Samuel Sim (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Home Fires), CDT provides an intuitive sound palette designed for composers who want to focus on storytelling without getting lost in complex software menus.
Built on the success of British Drama Toolkit, CDT expands the concept with Juno 6 chorus tones, MS-20 textures, vocalizations, and expressive performances on guitar, electric cello, and electric violin—all processed through vintage analog effects, Eurorack modules, and classic pedals. The result is a collection of whispered textures, bold melodies, and immersive soundscapes that unfold instantly as you play.
