Emphatic Elements
Our Picture Puncture label is home to some of our boldest, heroic, and most dynamic music. But it’s also where we keep our collection of bespoke workparts, unique sound design elements, and textures that contribute to a standout score.
These Emphatic Elements are the details that can transform kinda creepy into bone-chilling, adventurous into awe-inspiring, and curiosity into anticipation. Don’t underestimate the power of a musical accent.
Beast Beneath (PICX-017)
Included Elements: Submerged Signals, Otherworld Sweepers, Trailer Effects
Our Summary: A behemoth spin on Braam and trailer effects with storytellers in mind to deliver tension, low end, and noise sweep sound design for trailers, promos, in-game events, mnemonic explorations.
And don’t say we didn’t warn you with the track titled “This Will Destroy Your Speaker.”
Questions Remain (PICX-012)
Included Elements: Suspenseful Beds, Tension Builders, Curious Queries
Our Summary: Full of creeping dread? Lingering questions polluting the air? Stuck in a suspended dream state?
All of these questions and more are scored with a balance of sound design and minimal pads, modified orchestral elements, and more.
Perc Up Energy Kits (PICX-015)
Included Elements: Uplifting Drumbeats, Remixed Grooves, Manic Moments
Our Summary: Live, isolated, drum sets with varying styles and sonic treatments including big band, drum n bass, bolero, militaristic, and straight ahead rock among others.
With over 50 options, this is a great add into any editor’s percussive arsenal.
Horror Laboratory (PICX-018)
Included Elements: Tension Trailers, Horror Drone, Terror Effects
Our Summary: Put a a bike frame, metal coils, tiny cymbals, pickups, and a metal guitar string together and what do you get?
Apparently a recipe for ominous percussive builds, manipulated trailer tom strikes, drones with accents for horror soundtracks and anything else that needs a little extra sound design to amp up the creepiness.
