Sonespheres is a series of uniquely sound-designed atmospheric synths, textural pads, evolving soundscapes, nuanced drones and tonal ambiences, built for Native Instruments Kontakt. Each volume explores the creative vision of American composer and sound artist Blake Ewing, delving into deeper aesthetics, stylized niches and specialty production concepts.
Film and television composer and long-time Soundiron collaborator Blake Ewing opens the series with Sonespheres Vol. 1 – “Distance”. He brings to his craft a brilliant ear for nuanced layering, rich detail, fluid textures and powerful emotional weight. Each of the sounds in this library have been created by hand and carefully guided with a very clear artistic vision. Sonespheres 1 Distance includes a deep selection of new and inspiring content that were sculpted from a wide array of acoustic instrument and vocal recordings, with a full array of essential user controls to unlock virtually limitless creative potential.
