Overview

Genres like science fiction, fantasy, and paranormal require far-fetched otherworldly sounds, but the inspiration for those sounds is all around us. To create Energetic Forms, sound artist Robert Kellough (Dune, Ant-Man) sought out real-world sounds with a natural “pulse,” then carefully processed and manipulated them to create a collection of energy-based sound effects that are visceral and dynamic, yet grounded in authenticity. Derived from a variety of source recordings ranging from hydrophones in waterfalls to contact microphones on electrical wires, these sounds are perfect for designing anything from futuristic technology to magic spells and beyond.

Design sci-fi settings with energy weapon blasts, unstable reactor cores, scanner chirps, and rippling whooshes reminiscent of alien vehicles - or create truly fantastical sounds like explosions of raw energy, magical summoning spells, or demonic creature vocalizations. In addition to those bombastic sounds, Energetic Forms contains a variety of fluid, liquid-like textures, tonal drones, and other pitched elements derived from tuning forks, singing bowls, and more.
