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

It's a strange and charming sound.

I don't make horror music, but I like to use this sound source thinly on guitars and other backtracks to add some weirdness.

Ghoulash for the ears

A real delight - you want to experiment without actually having a specific need to do so. Superb !

A Spectral Spectacular

Haunted Strings 2 Dunnellon ups the anti when it comes to mood, sampling and sound. The control over articulations makes layering, blending and building melody easy and fun. The sound of play is quite definitely haunting and can be layers easily with other Aleotoric and Orchestral FX libraries. This is a must have for my creepy compositions and trailers. Enjoy Halloween all year long with this gem!

Cheers and Fears,

A great, compact and affordable spooky strings library

I've been using this VI on quite a few tracks recently. The unstable character of the sounds is great for so many types of arrangements. And not just haunted stuff. I also appreciate how these textures lend themselves easily to ambient, soundtrack, and other scoring.
Haunted Strings (without the "2") is also a great library, but no longer available. I still use it as well as this second release. Thanks Insanity Samples!
