Spitfire Audio Estática (Digital Download)


Visceral textures from boundary-pushing experimentalists

These electrifying soundscapes come from the combined vision of two boundary-pushing artists — cellist and composer, Mabe Fratti, and multidisciplinary sound artist, Concepción Huerta. DIY, improvisational and progressive, the library features unorthodox cello techniques, analog synths and vocal-based pads, as well as atmospheric, industrial warps and abstract textures — distorted, deconstructed and pushed to their limits using the artists’ enviable pedal collections and bespoke tape processing techniques. Full of contrast and character, each sound is highly evocative — from ethereal and nostalgic to unsettling, aggressive and dystopian atmospheres that cut right through a mix — ready to breathe new life into your compositions and spark new ideas.

Recorded alongside the artists’ EP of the same name, the library offers a range of sound-sculpting controls for a dynamic sonic palette with exciting possibilities.

Key features - 32 presets, split into four sections

Cello (13) 

Fratti’s wide range of distinctively haunting cello techniques range from soft bowings to aggressive bow FX and bending strings, capturing the raw character of the instrument, while also pushing it to its limits – a sea of reverb and distortion achieving alien-like drones, as well as tones reminiscent of an electric guitar.

Tape (11) 

Atmospheric tape processing from Huerta, from hissing to sounds reminiscent of old radio signals, with room for further experimentation.

Vocals (4) 

Comprising organic vocal performances and granular, processed vocal-based pads, this section lends itself well to composers looking to add a human touch to their compositions, achieving sounds other instruments can’t quite capture.

Warps (4) 

Atmospheric and orchestral-based, this section provides extra layers to add more depth and texture to your compositions
