Orchestral Dread
Dissonant orchestral impacts, stingers and unstable gestures for psychological horror and cinematic tension.
Let the harmony fracture.
Give the disruption a purpose.
Orchestral Dread shapes real strings, brass, winds, percussion, drums, chimes and mallets into clusters, slams, jumpscares, shockers, rips and rising gestures. Extended playing techniques and cinematic processing provide volatile accents and unsettling orchestral textures.
