Constrictor

A tension and horror string library recorded at Budapest Scoring with 10 violins, 4 violas, 4 cellos and 3 basses, recorded as separate sections. It concentrates on cluster sustains, harmonic clusters, atonal shorts, cluster runs, risers and downers (over 400 articulations), with four mic positions and two mixes.

How to use it in horror

Stack a violin cluster run over a low cello harmonic cluster for a skittering, insect-like bed, then trigger an atonal short across all sections on the reveal.
