Whether it be the quirky off-beat bleeps and bloops of Delia Derbyshire at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the dystopian soundscapes of John Carpenter or the early film scores by the likes of Tangerine Dream, these are the sounds that soundtracked many of my favourite films and TV shows, scaring and delighting me in equal measure. Often these kinds of recordings were made on a shoestring budget with idiosyncratic equipment that would drift in tuning or distort unexpectedly, but these are the very faults and errors that gave them such character and I’ve tried not to make things too “perfect” or clean to retain that feel. The sounds have been culled from a variety of sources, old reel to reel tapes of my own early experiments, more recent sessions using half broken, dusty old synths with crackling pots and experiments with circuit bent effects units. They are raw, untamed electronics, curated into a fully usable format to add some organic textures to what can, sometimes be a sterile experience with modern computer based recordings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xfonic Report A","offers":[{"title":"Download","offer_id":3823825551373,"sku":"HAUNT-110","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1890\/5447\/products\/Hauntology.png?v=1559646325"},{"product_id":"psycho-acoustics","title":"Psychoacoustics","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePsychoacoustics\u003c\/strong\u003e is an amazing collaboration between award-winning sound designer and composer Si Begg, musical instrument maker and sound artist Sam Underwood and Zero G.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vPeRpdWg_FM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 200 presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique, organic sounding source material \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom, user-friendly Kontakt interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuge variety of timbres and instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredibly flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe raw sound material was created and recorded by Sam using various unique acoustic and electro acoustic sound-making devices.

After listening to that, and browsing many more of his eccentric and frankly bonkers noise-making machines, I knew this was someone it would be fun to collaborate with. Sam was very enthusiastic about the idea of a sample library as it’s something he had been meaning to do for years. The more sounds that he sent, the more amazing I knew this library was going to be. I’ve already used lots of the sounds in pieces, including some trailers for Netflix so I know how useful it’s going to be for composers looking for something that sounds organic and “real” but also totally unique!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePlease Note: This library requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.0 or higher.
