Kymera is a macabre collection of haunted sounds for the next generation of horror
Kymera is the first entry in our new series of instruments based on the principles of Musique concrète developed by French composer Pierre Schaeffer in the 1940s, and now taken into the future. Inside you will find a vast collection of idiosyncratic sounds recorded in extreme ultrasonic quality, allowing you to pitch and manipulate the original recordings beyond recognition without losing their clarity and definition. As laid out in the tape experiments conducted by Schaeffer and his contemporaries in the mid 20th century, Kymera allows you to burn all relation between the sampled material and its sonic origin, creating brand new sound objects out of the ashes.
Inspired by classic horror sound effects, this instrument is not for the faint of heart. Spanning the screeching tones of dry ice on metal, whining hurdy-gurdy drones, blood-curdling screams, the voice of our studio mascot Penny the french bulldog, and countless others; these sounds are a testament to our love for all things dark.
Within the collection of 60 presets that we have designed to kickstart your journey into this dark new world, you will find sound effects including dynamic monster vocalisations, environmental sounds, and foley; as well as tonal elements such as rhythmic sequences, drones, and pads made from surprising and unlikely sources.
Whether you’re a sound designer searching for the creature sounds of the future, an experimental musician looking to add organic depth to your productions, or a film/video game composer in need of instant inspiration, there is something waiting for you in Kymera.
