User reviews:
“This is an absolutely fantastic collection. It provides a wide assortment of dynamic and believably exaggerated flame perspectives that are very well suited for portraying hyper-realism. If you need to portray flames in rather dynamic detail, you’ll appreciate having this in your library.”

Created with modular synth equipment (Mutable Instruments, Intellijel, Doepfer, Erica Synths, Make Noise, Arturia, Expert Sleepers, 2hp, Ladik) recorded into an Emu E5000Ultra Sampler, then processed digitally using a variety of techniques and high-end effects.
User reviews:
“A high quality, fresh new product that cleverly references an earlier “family” of sonically related sources whilst bringing something unique to the market – that’s quite an achievement! I mean it only as high praise when I say that it brought to mind some of the works of Sound Dust, Rhythmic Robot’s The Laboratory series and Hollow Sun’s Music Laboratory Machines, for example. And as well as the obvious modular-type sounds, there are also shades of PPG and Prophet VS in there, too. There’s a real depth and weight to the sounds and the quality throughout is universally high. Transition & sound effects, textures, beds and ambiences all sound brilliant and I can easily imagine everyone from Trent Reznor down to me loving them! Congratulations, it really does sound “top notch”.” - arp.quadra

Designed Ice features 47 cinematic ice sound effects, designed field recordings and evolving textures, that combine the natural sounds of ice with otherworldly and experimental digital post-processing. The sounds range from heavily designed to basic elements.
User reviews:
“‘Designed Ice’ is an experimental library based on our favorite frozen liquid. These sounds of ice have been mangled and distorted beyond recognition to give their ‘essence’ through textures and moods for otherworldly experiences. These sounds crackle, tear, shatter, evolve, excite, glitch, and emote, imitating both living things like aliens and insects and instruments such as bells and horns. These sounds are designed to be used straight out of the box; however, don’t think they won’t inspire you to play with their 96kHz sample rate—or see what new effects you can achieve in your own recordings! If you are looking for an experimental or design inspiration, give this library a listen.” - A Sound Effect

Recorded with a LOM Elektrosluch 3+, designed with various fx tools.
User reviews:
“‘Designed Circuits’ is an intriguing pack of electromagnetic glitches, ambiences, hums, and interference from the envied and perpeturally sold-out LOM Elektrosluch 3+. This library features eerie, evolving soundscapes that some say sound like sci-fi atmospheres and others believe are proof that ghosts wander our world. If you’re looking for sounds that emote that perspective, this is the library for you.” - A Sound Effect

User reviews:
“‘Designed Rocks’ is a set of glitchy rock elements that crumble, crack and shatter in oddly organic yet synthetic ways. This library has 60 impacting textures that are at times rhythmic and melodic as they crumble, roll, and burst. The library also includes unique atmospherics as if the rocks are under water, or in a small reverberating space, a malfunctioning holodeck and an alien world. If you are looking for synthetic crumbles, check this library out.” - A Sound Effect

Designed Plastic features 146 cinematic plastic sound effects, evolving textures, glitches and more. It explores sounds that everyday plastic items can create, when magnified and experimented with through layering, morphing and spectral shifting.
User reviews:
“‘Designed Plastic’ focuses on our favorite synthetic compounds. With 146 sounds, it has abstract textures that have been layered, morphed and shifted for sounds of boiling, rippling, creaking, droning, ripping and more that are somewhere between liquids and solids. These sounds not only work for otherworldly plasma storms and drones, they could also inspire new alien character designs, granular motion, and so much more. If you are looking for something that will give your sound recognition skills a workout, definitely listen to this library.” - A Sound Effect
