Splintered Soundboard

The ghost that remains after the piano’s been taken apart.

Strings, wood, metal, and decay — captured from inside an ageing upright piano and built into a cinematic sound design instrument for atmosphere, tension, and unease.

With FRACTURED SOUNDBOARD now out, it’s time to retire the original. This is its last flash sale before it leaves the store for good.

Retires from the store — 30th September

Vestral Voices vocal instrument plugin interface — Light and Dark controls

September Spotlight

Vestral Voices

Sacred. Unsettling. Unforgettable.

Recorded inside St Michael’s Church, Vestral Voices explores the space between beauty and unease — intimate, breath-filled vocals in Light, twisted and fractured in Dark.

Just updated: now a standalone VST3/AU plugin, with a new granular engine, a Movement blend between sample and grain, fresh convolution IRs, and a whole new preset library. Free for existing owners.

£39£25

Cinema-driven sound for modern creators

We craft sample libraries built for character, depth, and detailed sonic storytelling. Trusted by composers and producers worldwide — from bedroom studios to major film scoring stages.

Where others pursue perfection, we focus on the grit, texture, and imperfection that make sound feel alive.

Influenced by sound, not spreadsheets

Our ideas aren’t shaped in boardrooms or driven by metrics. They come from the music, film, and art that actually moves us — and the desire to turn that into sound.

Presence in every note

Our samples are crafted like real music — with the energy, movement, and imperfections of a true studio performance. Every sound is designed with intention, bringing character and soul back into your music.

Trusted by the industry’s top composers

From intimate studios to major scoring stages, our instruments sit at the core of modern cinematic production.

In Their Words

Thomas George, composer

“They’ve done it again with their new offering Vestral Voices. The originality is equaled by the high level recordings.”

Thomas George — Composer (Possession, Paranormal, True Detective: Night Country)

VERGE, composer and producer

“Its warped, chaotic sound design offers a bold, dark sonic world that’s perfect for adding tension and drama to any score.”

VERGE — Composer & Producer (Goodbye Brother, Perspective)

Preston Hart, composer

“I’m constantly pulling up new textures of weird sounds that I couldn’t get anywhere else. Your plugins have become essential to my workflow.”

Preston Hart — Composer (Making Mothers, Keeping the Kibbutz)
