AURA, VIBRATIONS, ATMOSPHERE

The idea that certain places take on the weight of past events is familiar to all of us.

Renowned field recordist Chris Watson has spent years collecting audio recordings from such places in one of his most personal projects.

Ancient Temples, Ice Lagoons, Cold War Bases, Abandoned Silver Mines, Power Stations, Cathedrals, Canyons, Underwater Tunnels, Deserted Art Galleries and Maori Burial Caves all feature in this unique collection of recordings.

PRESET LIBRARY TOUR

Haunted Spaces features a huge library of over 400 presets, created by a team of incredible sound designers.

The core sample library contains 128 original Chris Watson field recordings, combined with hundreds of custom synth, acoustic and percussion waveforms to blend with the ambiences. Notable sample sets include special versions of Soniccouture's Novachord, Array Mbira, Bowed Piano, ebow Guitar and many more.

This video showcases a small selection of the preset sounds.

THE CONTROL CUBE

VECTOR / XY CONTROLLER

Haunted Spaces is based around a 4 point vector, or 'XY' controller.

This allows you to fade between 4 different waveforms, each with their own synthesis setup.

The Cube can be fully automated, all movements are recordable and sync to the DAW tempo.
