Atmospheric Dread

'Atmospheric Dread' by SKYES Audio breathes fear and awe into your work with carefully designed drones with swelling textures, inspired by films like Blade Runner 2049, Interstellar, Alien: Covenant, and Prometheus.

Drones & Mood Sound Effects Atmospheric Dread Play Track 19 sounds included, 63 mins total $80

Breathe fear and awe into your work with Atmospheric Dread, carefully designed and ever-evolving drones, intertwined with swelling textures.

Inspired by the sound of films such as Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Interstellar, Alien: Covenant, Prometheus, and more, I’ve created a new Drone library, all whilst listening to the feedback from Aberrant Drones users, and reviewers.

I’ve not only worked on improving the quality of the soundscapes further, but I’ve also broken down files into more manageable chunks, up to around 6 minutes long, and brutally cut out whatever did not feel like it should go in the library.

As a result, Atmospheric Dread is a smaller library, at least compared to the massive Aberrant Drones, whilst delivering 63 minutes of gut-wrenching, eye-widening, and fear-inducing soundscapes.

The library is comprised of 24bit/96kHz .WAV files, all stuffed to the brim with rich, and descriptive SoundMiner metadata, thus allowing you to find what you need immediately.

If you have any questions about this library, feel free to quickly send me an e-mail. I tend to reply within minutes.
