This week, our new libraries straddle the line between music and sound design with some of our noisiest and most harmonious sounds yet. We also have unnatural pianos that soak up the reverb of their environments and haunt you with their lingering tails. Finally, we have libraries that are ready to be implemented to voice the futuristic doors in your projects.
'Cloud Piano' by Cordovan Music, LLC is a small library that comes from a 1950s Cable upright piano. These sounds are not only 'cloud-like', they are also uneasy and haunting with their trailing reverbs, pulses, shimmers, living textures, and thrilling tones that will organically build the suspense and stress in your project. Each sound is a minute long and geared toward specific visual textures like mysterious fog, glowing exteriors, pulsating clouds, and glassy tension. Whether you're going for Silent Hill-like terror or a misty sci-fi landscape, these sounds are sure to produce drama and sweat beads on your audience.
'Futuristic Doors' by The Sound Pack Tree is a pack that contains sounds that are often needed but hard to grasp when designing. This library has nearly a hundred files of various doors that will fit well in your future tech—whether it be a spaceship or high-tech facility. These doors not only open and close, they also slam, swish, slid, unlock and compute, and with their various shapes and sizes they will match the cutting edge designs of your establishment. Plus, there are sounds of elevators, hatches and starships docking. For its modest price, it's hard to ask for a more focused and easy-to-implement library!
As to be expected with Detunized's libraries, 'The Keyless Piano Body' captures not only the sound of the source material but also every early and late reflection engulfing it. Recorded both in a studio and in the nightly ambience of the outdoors, this Kontakt Patch library features almost 1,200 sounds from this unique, tortured instrument. Of course for Detunized, simply using one's hands to play the instrument would be too straightforward, so the creator used plastic and felt balls, glasses, steel jazz brushes, and even aching thumbnails to exploit the instrument. For an emotive, one-of-a-kind piano library that fits accessibly in genres of Celtic, horror and jazz, check out this library.
