'Designed Ice' by Solar Audio is an experimental library based on our favorite frozen liquid. These sounds of ice have been mangled and distorted beyond recognition to give their 'essence' through textures and moods for otherworldly experiences. These sounds crackle, tear, shatter, evolve, excite, glitch, and emote, imitating both living things like aliens and insects and instruments such as bells and horns. These sounds are designed to be used straight out of the box; however, don't think they won't inspire you to play with their 192kHz sample rate—or see what new effects you can achieve in your own recordings!
