What the pros say:

“Such a pleasure to receive some new original source material to inspire the darkness- perfect, deeply atmospheric collection for creating instant soundscapes around that new movie score you’re planning. Highly recommended.”
Alan Wilder (Depeche Mode, Recoil)

“A well-crafted and thoughtful collection of tones, layers, sweeps, signals and sounds perfect for either complementing your existing composition or as an inspiring starting point. Far from stock, these feel lovingly handmade and are certainly from the ears and minds of someone with a keen understanding of dark music, atmosphere, score, and mood. Loving it.”
Justin Warfield (She Wants Revenge, Saul Williams, The Bots)

“More than anything in music I want to hear something that is unsettling and that I have not heard before. These sounds push that further than I ever imagined.”
Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu)

“Tension is an awesome collection of groans, drones, whines and sines. Half the pack is complexly layered, ready to use sounds for all your sci fi and future thinking projects. The other half are cleaner sounds that I use to create my own sonic stacks of glory.”
Jonathan Lipman M.P.S.E. (Sony Pictures Entertainment)
