Delirium – Surreal Textures & Movement

'Delirium – Surreal Textures & Movement' by Patch Morrison was designed to evoke madness with eerie drones, distorted vocals, and unsettling atmospheres. Primarily created using Madrona Labs SUMU, it features versatile comms, magic, sci-fi, and UI sounds.

Drones & Mood Sound Effects Delirium – Surreal Textures & Movement Play Track 380 sounds included $110
Delirium is a sound effects toolkit, lovingly prepared to accompany your unique and personal descent into madness. Bask in the radiance of wobbling washes of muffled screams, or perhaps some swaying, spiralling tones that make you feel dizzy and nauseous!

Designed primarily using Madrona Labs SUMU, Delirium is perfect for creating tension-filled atmospheres, hypnotic trances, dream sequences, hallucinations and generally unusual, other-worldly situations. Wavering drones that are writhing and moving, fragmented vocal splinters of what used to be human voices before they were dragged into the void, static bursts of interference from a long forgotten transmission that should never have been found… that sort of thing.

It does cover some areas that are more grounded in the real world (Comms Static, UI Glitches), but the majority of stuff in here is proudly un-tethered from reality.

The library is broken down into the following categories and sub categories as part of its comprehensive UCS metadata.
- COMMUNICATIONS: Static, Telemetry – Scrambled, Lofi, Glitch
- DESIGNED: Distortion, Drone, Eerie, Ethereal, Granular, Rhythmic, Rumble, Synthetic, Tonal, Vocal, Whoosh – Bubbling, Clicks, Demonic, Energy, Evolving, Fizzing, Gloopy, Gritty, Hissing, Metallic, Movement, Muffled, Neutral, Pulsing, Rattling, Riser, Robotic, Scrambled, Spinning, Static, Steady, Submerged, Sweeteners, Swells, Synth, Texture, Throbbing, Tonal, Watery
- MAGIC: Shimmer, Spell – Fragments, Metallic, Movement, Steady, Swells, Tonal, Vocal
- SCIFI: Energy – Evolving, Movement, Riser, Steady, Surges, Swells, Texture
- USER INTERFACE: Data, Glitch, Motion – Gritty, Malfunction, Movement, Smooth, Watery, Gestures
The sounds of Delirium will allow you to travel to weird, wonderful and sometimes unpleasant places with your sonic creations whilst maintaining subtlety and versatility. They are layers waiting to be interwoven, a bag of choice ingredients, a palette of strange colours. Go forth and paint!!!
