Experimental Sound Effects

Experimental sound effects pulled from odd places. Electromagnetic fields picked up with coils. Light sources turned into signals, then into sci-fi explosions. Circuits pushed until they glitch and distort. Add waterphones and reverb chambers, and you get drones and risers that sound like nothing in particular, which is often the point.

Most of this starts as a real recording and then gets bent. Coil pickups catch electromagnetic fields, field recordings get processed until the source is gone, and vintage hardware mangles circuits into stutters and sparkly little hits. Some of it arrives as finished drones and impacts. Some is left raw for you to take further, and the Waterphone recordings come both ways. Glitchy Riser sounds sit beside the trailer elements for build-ups. They suit sci-fi, horror and abstract title sequences, anywhere a normal sound would be too ordinary for the moment.
