Large Update Imminent... Back soon!

HAUNTED STRINGS 2 is a huge new development of the original Haunted Strings concept. We headed back into the studio with a string ensemble, and set about recording as many twisted, eerie, dark, brooding & in some cases outright terrifying performances as we could dream up. One of the key unique selling points of this library is that we effectively treated the entire ensemble, from double bass up to violins, as one big tutti style instrument. So the air we're capturing really was moved all at once by this collective of players. Allowing for a really interactive and experimental experience on each note.

"I feel that music on the screen can seek out and intensify the inner thoughts of the characters. It can invest a scene with terror, grandeur, gaiety, or misery. It can propel narrative swiftly forward, or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of poetry." - Bernard Hermann

Fantastic and Unique Vibe

These strings have a really unique character to them, different from any other string library I have and, unless I'm going for something "traditionally" orchestral I tend to prefer to more unique textures these can add to a track. Great feature set and sound all around.

Fatnastic textures

These strings have some great character, really adds a lot when layered over other, more 'plain' string patches.
