Time + Space have announced that Alien Skies: Cinematic Ambiences 2, a new sample library from Zero G, is now available. The sequel to Cinematic Ambiences (which we awarded five stars in our May 2010 review), Cinematic Ambiences 2 is a two-DVD set featuring over 4GB of special effects, drones and soundscapes that Zero G say are ideal for TV, film and game music composers.
Comprising 720 Acidized WAV files, 720 Apple Loops, and 810 instruments coded for Kontakt, ESX24 and NN XT, the sample pack’s sound sources include Indian flutes, Ecuadorian string instruments and industrial machines, to name but a few. These were all subject to extensive audio processing and manipulation, resulting in “a fantastic array of synthetic, yet clearly organic textures”.
Available now, Zero G Cinematic Ambiences 2 costs £89 including VAT, and can be bought from the Time + Space web site (www.timespace.com), where you’ll also find some audio examples of the library in action.
