A COLLECTION OF CHILLING ATMOSPHERES & DRONES FOR HORROR. CUSTOM CONTROLS TO INCREASE OR DECREASE INTENSITY AND PULSING RHYTHMS

‘ChillerScapes’ was born out of my love for Horror, but also working on version 1.7 of my debut sample library, ‘Reflection’. I added a Soundscapes category in version 1.6 which was produced by mangling the samples in various different way, and in version 1.7 I added some more. Whilst working on that I thought it would be useful if you could have a single knob which would evolve the sound and make it more intense, but that would be too much work for Reflection, and not really in-keeping with it.

So, ‘ChillerScapes’ was born. It was a welcome distraction as well as good scripting practice, and came out just as intended!

There are 13 Ambiences and 5 Drones; each has 3 layers of samples (taken from Reflection) and a few simple controls (everything is done in the background using the Reflection engine). The main control being the Intensity knob, which fades up layers 2 & 3 as it increases as well as doing other things behind the scenes to increase the chaos! The controls are explained in detail over the next few pages.

The idea with ‘ChillerScapes’, is to hit 1 or more notes and keep them held whilst increase and decreasing the intensity to evolve the sound, as well as using the the other controls to add more variation. Add some distortion to dirty it all up!

What’s more - it’s completely free to download (link on the left). I would ask that you consider following us on Twitter or Facebook in return, but it isn’t a necessity.

Happy Nightmares!
