Yair Elazar Glotman — Speculative Memories
Awe-inspiring atmospheres — transformed through spatial technology
Awe-inspiring atmospheres — transformed through spatial technology
Create instant suspense, tension and atmosphere with these cutting-edge cinematic textures — from the heart and mind of Berlin-based composer and experimental sound artist Yair Elazar Glotman.
From beautifully haunting, evolving drones with visceral undertones to ambient swells and earth-shattering atmospheres, this all-in-one toolkit of multi-layered electroacoustic textures have been created from a selection of extended techniques performed on double bass, vocals, guitar, as well as modular synths sounds, custom tape loops and more — developed into visceral abstract environments through sophisticated granular processing and layering techniques. Travel to new sonic dimensions with the plugin’s radically transformative processed signals — from tape FX to our cavernous spatial signal, created at the legendary MONOM Studio at Funkhaus, Berlin – while our in-built controls and effects offer even further opportunity for sonic exploration.
