Hello, many greetings from tour with “Unheilig“ directly from the tour bus. We have played concerts all summer and are still on the road. Wherever we are we build up our small studio setup to work on our new album, which will be released soon. For this reason I can’t miss my little CME XKey! All the best, Henning!

” WOW – I’m a proud owner of CME`s Xkey Air37 and guess what: I can’t get my hands off it!

Thumbs up CME and rock on! Peace! ”

“I believe that the Xkey is what every musician needs. Other than its astonishing and stylish look and feel, the really well-thought-out design, feasibility of work, and its portability is something that is unbeatable, and thats what makes the CME Xkey the ultimate keyboard solution for every modern musician. It is going to be everywhere with me, and I can’t think of me without it!”

Greg Hosharian

“My favorite aspect of the XKey is its portability. Even though I use it in my studio, It is an important part of my remote setup when I’m out of the studio working. I can easily take it with me in the beautiful case, strap it to my back and set it up on the road, at the local coffee shop or just anywhere I desire. The Xkey Air is a great composing companion allowing me to work on compositions and film scores wherever I am at a moments notice!”

Composer, conductor and keyboardist Greg Hosharian began playing the piano at the age of four, when his father, composer/conductor Edward Hosharian, became his first music teacher.

Greg has toured across Europe and North America as a keyboardist with the progressive rock band Redemption, opening for Dream Theater. He has also formed two bands of his own in which he plays the keyboard: Hosharian Brothers Band (in which his brother, Peter Hosharian, plays the clarinet) and Armenian Space Station (progressive metal). In 2009, Armenian Space Station performed an exceptionally well-received concert in Yerevan, Armenia.

Greg started The Armenian Pops Orchestra in 2010 in which he is the conductor and musical director. The Orchestra made its much-anticipated debut that year performing the premiere orchestral version of Greg’s composition “Symphony No. 2 – The Waters of Lake Sevan” The Orchestra has performed several times in the Los Angeles area ever since.

Greg is in the planning stages of organizing a series of concerts incorporating all of the genres he is passionate about — ethnic, Armenian, classical, chamber, jazz and rock music — at various venues across the globe. These concerts, at which he will also perform, will showcase his original compositions.
