The TONAL ELEMENTS series has a heavy focus on creative sound design. It features assets that can fall anywhere between the classic definitions of a musical element or a typical hard effect aka. sound effect. They might be of rhythmical or sustained nature, they can be atonal or of tonal character, or even fall into the category of noise-like. In a media production, these elements always complete an important task, and that is to convey an emotion or help to tell the story, without being to obvious in the foreground, hence distracting the listener. Any Sound Designer should make use of these powerful tools, as they can make all of a difference when it comes to setting the right mood or triggering the right emotion at the right moment. These elements typically fall into categories like: Ambient Pads, Drones, Risers, Downers, Impacts, Stingers, Textures, Whooshes, etc..

This library is a hybrid production that consists of recorded organic sources and content that was synthesized and tailored from the ground up. For the organic sources I used recordings made with contact mics and geophones, as well as regular close-up and ambience recordings. For the synthetic sources, I used lots of different hardware and software synths and other tone generators.
