About Me

Sonic Reality is a music and sound production company. We make virtual musical instruments and production tools that can be used with today´s digital samplers and Mac/PC software samplers, sequencers and digital recorders.Our experience in the sound and music industry extends back to the first days of digital sampling and we have provided both sample content and patch programming for some of the most popular keyboards, modules and expansion cards/boards for major manufacturers such as Yamaha, Alesis, Roland and more.In the roles of either keyboardist, producer or programmer, Dave Kerzner (founder of Sonic Reality) has worked with a wide range of artists. From custom programming sounds and providing vintage keyboards for Smashing Pumpkins, Crowded House, Black Crows, Ringo Starr, Sam Phillips, T-Bone Burnette, Madonna, Beyonce, Rolling Stones, Keith Emerson (ELP), Geoff Downes (Asia), Tony Banks (Genesis), Jon Anderson (Yes) and many others to playing keyboards with Kevin Gilbert (Toy Matinee, Sheryl Crow), L. Shankar (Peter Gabriel, U2, Phil Collins) and others. Dave's vision for Sonic Reality is to provide a valuable source of virtual playable musical instruments and grooves that offer a high level of production capability that would otherwise be very difficult and expensive to obtain for musicians anywhere in the world.
