Glencoe Audio Skyedrift [KONTAKT]

Texture in Motion
Inspired by the atmosphere and texture of Nordic and German film composers, Skyedrift is an ambient instrument for Kontakt 7 Player for creating organic and evolving drones, pads, and textures.

Built for film, TV, and game composers, sounds include beautiful raw sources and meticulously designed sources processed with 1/4" tape, cassette, FX pedals, and plugins used in unconventional ways, all combined to achieve beautifully organic sounds that you cannot get in the real world.
