Piezo Apocalypse Sounds From A Future Without Hope

So far we have focused on dramatic sample packs that feature melodic elements. But what if you need some dramatic fx or textures to add dramatic impact or tension? Tallbeard Studios has the solution in the form of an Apocalyptic vision of the future. Foley effects are put through an array of interesting processing effects to create a wonderful selection of soundscapes and percussive impacts.

This sample pack was created by running peizo element audio through some crazy guitar pedals and effect racks. The sounds were pulled from computer cases, chair mats, water bottles, and my trusty old Peizo Springbox. This audio was processed heavily in Ableton to create incredibly deep and expressive soundscapes and percussive transients. This is wonderful stuff for layering your percussion, getting some extreme grunge out of your synths, or adding more processing for dynamic and expressive pads.
