Haunted by The Blue Hour
“Haunted” came to us in a moment of dark cinematic inspiration. Built on a loop of a heartbeat and a detuned electric piano, the track grew into a living song that morphs from lament to celebration. The music blends organic instrumentation and samples with modular synthesis for movement and unpredictability and atmospheric pads from Omnisphere.
The b-side, “Revenants,” is an electronic-orchestral instrumental that brings home the theme of ghosts—in this case, an army of ghosts swarming from a nightmare. On this track, we blended orchestral sample libraries from Spitfire Audio with Arturia’s reproduction of the Prophet 5 and Audio Damage’s Continua.
All tracks were recorded at the Pixie Nest using Ableton Live 10 and Logic Pro. “Haunted” features wonderful plugins from Soundtoys, Valhalla, and Oeksound.
Best wishes,
Brian & Marselle
