Twisted Trees is a Sonic Extension for Omnisphere 2 by renowned sound designer Diego Stocco. It is a collection of over 1,900 sounds built entirely from wood, with a focus on dark and cinematic soundscapes.
The extension includes a wide range of sounds, from deep and rumbling percussion to ethereal and haunting textures. There are also a number of playable instruments, such as wooden flutes, drums, and stringed instruments.
One of the things that makes Twisted Trees so unique is the way that it uses wood as its primary sound source. Diego recorded a wide variety of wooden objects, including trees, branches, leaves, and even wood buildings. He then used these recordings to create a vast library of new sounds. The sounds were created by bowing, scraping, hitting and even building unique instruments with wood.
The result is a sound library that is truly unique and inspiring. The sounds in Twisted Trees are organic, earthy, and often quite dark. They are perfect for creating dark and atmospheric soundscapes, as well as for adding a unique flavor to more traditional compositions.
In addition to the sound library, Twisted Trees also includes two new effects processors: Twisted Space and Twisted Root. Twisted Space is a hybrid reverb that combines algorithmic and convolution processing. Twisted Root is a multi-band subsonic enhancer that can be used to add massive girth and power to any sound.
Overall, Twisted Trees is a fantastic Sonic Extension for Omnisphere 2. It is a must-have for anyone who creates dark and cinematic music, or who is looking for a unique and inspiring sound library.
