Lea Bertucci — Acoustic Shadows
Atmospheric & expansive sound design textures
Atmospheric & expansive sound design textures
A palette of epic sound design textures, made in collaboration with experimental New York-based composer, Lea Bertucci. The library is made up of brass and percussion instruments performing a selection of extended techniques, transformed by the extraordinary recording space in which they were captured — a cavernous industrial fridge, with stunningly reverberant acoustics.
From deep, ominous textural beds to eerie swells and thunderous hits, organic elements are complemented by evolving granular-based pads, made from the recorded material. These instantly playable cinematic sounds will add momentum, suspense and tension to your trailer music and compositions. Available in our dedicated plug-in, Acoustic Shadows is released in conjunction with the composer’s LP of the same name, out now on SA Recordings.

My fascination lies in the relationship between music, architecture and the human sensorium — the way sound behaves in space.
