Ethereal Sound Effects

Ethereal sound effects for when a scene needs to drift off somewhere else. Pads and evolving drones, celestial textures, breaths reversed into whooshes, and an old guitar and amp pushed through effects into long drones. Some lean heavenly. Some lean ominous. Either way they sit under dream sequences, afterlife scenes and anything otherworldly.

Most of these are designed rather than recorded outdoors. Long Pad layers and celestial textures sit low under a scene and leave room for dialogue, while the evolving sequences add slow movement. The breaths are different. They were recorded binaurally, with reversed whooshes and varied reverb, so they work best on headphones and suit spirits and transitions into a vision. For darker work there are Eerie drones with ominous tones, made from a guitar, an amp and plenty of effects. It all suits fantasy games and sci-fi, and any cut where reality is about to slip.
