video upload by Keith Crosley

"We’re noclipping into liminal sonic realms, doing some Omnisphere 3 patches inspired by the Backrooms… and using Vulture Culture’s “Legendary Synths” sample library that I’ve converted to O3 multisampled soundsources! We’ll talky talky talky about liminal ambient inspirations, some of my favorite sound design tricks, and a few of the more unusual effects in Omnisphere. So grab your low-proximity magnetic distortion system and get ready for an ANALOG-HORROR-A-GO-GO episode of your favorite talky synthesizer content show!
