This week, our new libraries straddle the line between music and sound design with some of our noisiest and most harmonious sounds yet. We have glitch libraries that give you a lo-fi edge, aggressive revolutions, cataclysmic worlds, and a vintage-tech feel. We also have unnatural pianos that soak up the reverb of their environments and haunt you with their lingering tails. Finally, we have libraries that are ready to be implemented to voice the transitions and futuristic doors in your projects.

This small, highly focused sound library features drones and textures created solely with sounds from a 1950’s Cable upright piano.
These sound effects range from low, dark, and pulsating, to high and shimmering and could easily work in sci-fi, suspense, thrillers, or fantasy. While they can sound otherworldly, the sounds are actually quite organic. The sounds were made with looped and layered tone clusters and ambience recorded inside the piano – no granularization, synthesis, or additional processing like reverb were employed.
They can be used alone or mixed with other sounds to great effect.

Each sound is a minute long and geared toward specific visual textures like mysterious fog, glowing exteriors, pulsating clouds, and glassy tension. Whether you're going for Silent Hill-like terror or a misty sci-fi landscape, these sounds are sure to produce drama and sweat beads on your audience.

The Keyless Piano Body is a Kontakt Patch library that features an abandoned upright piano without keyboard.
The library encompasses the results of three extensive recording sessions and features the wonderful and reverberant sound of these piano remains.
For session 1 and 2 the body was brought to a studio and literally laid back so that various things like plastic balls, felt balls, glasses and much more could be thrown in to excite the strings. At the end of both sessions tons of samples were ready to edit. They now form 13 Kontakt instruments that encompass several precisely tuned pianos plus many prepared piano sets.
Session 3 was kind of a field recording gig as the piano remains were meanwhile moved to a rural garden area. The nightly recordings were done 6-channel so that several sample sets from 2 acoustic mics and 4 contact pick ups could be created. Again, the Kontakt instruments from this session feature the sounds of a rotten piano that is lovely and impressive at the same time. In a second pass the piano strings were treated with a stell jazz brush to bring up 3 multi-channel sets with prepared piano-like sounds.
Please see the Patch List here or below to learn more about the individual instruments. Also note that The Keyless Piano Body requires Kontakt 4 or higher.

As to be expected with Detunized's libraries, 'The Keyless Piano Body' captures not only the sound of the source material but also every early and late reflection engulfing it. Recorded both in a studio and in the nightly ambience of the outdoors, this Kontakt Patch library features almost 1,200 sounds from this unique, tortured instrument. Of course for Detunized, simply using one's hands to play the instrument would be too straightforward, so the creator used plastic and felt balls, glasses, steel jazz brushes, and even aching thumbnails to exploit the instrument. For an emotive, one-of-a-kind piano library that fits accessibly in genres of Celtic, horror and jazz, check out this library.
