To Frighten. To Torment. To Haunt.
With GÆSTEN, that vision becomes an instrument. Designed for composers, producers, and sound designers seeking to craft truly disturbing atmospheres, it offers a complete palette for everything from slow-burning dread to fractured chaos — a library born from experimentation, and built to haunt.
The source material behind GÆSTEN is as unsettling as the results. Its foundation lies in original on-set recordings from the infamous Fright House — resonant objects, metallic scrapes, ghostly ambiences, and raw textures captured in a space already steeped in dread.
Alongside this are unused acoustic recordings from those sessions, deconstructed and twisted into new forms. Every sound carries the DNA of horror storytelling at its core.
These raw ingredients were then pulled into a destructive process: torn apart in samplers, warped, reversed, and reshaped into a vast library of over 100 drones and textures, balanced against 80+ organic layers and acoustic sources. The result is an instrument that thrives on duality — the natural and the unnatural, the familiar and the fractured.

DIVINE. DISTORTED. DREADFUL.
Recorded in the reverberant hush of St Michael’s Church, Vestral Voices captures a haunting duality: the Light, pure and untouched vocal performances echoing with reverence; and the Dark, those same recordings twisted and processed into something far more unsettling.
At its heart, Vestral Voices is a vocal instrument of contrasts—ritualistic yet cinematic, delicate yet raw. Layer your compositions with:
Sustains – Held, breathy vocal notes in both Light and Dark variations. Soft, shimmering tones or distorted, broken whispers.
Drones – More static yet evolving layers drawn from extended performance tones, perfect for tension and weight.
Textures – Randomised vocal phrases reversed and mangled into sprawling tonal beds and layered ambience.
