Dark Cinematic Resonances from an Abandoned Silo
The Dark Tower is a percussive virtual instrument captured within a massive decommissioned grain silo, where concrete walls and metal infrastructure create unparalleled acoustic depth.
Field recordings of massive metal sheets, resonant staircases, and cavernous shafts have been transformed into a powerful percussion library designed for trailer music, cinematic scores, and experimental production.
Each strike reverberates through vertical space, creating textures that pulse with metallic decay, concrete reflections, and the ghostly resonance of industrial times in the city.​

废弃粮仓中的黑暗影视共振声
The Dark Tower 是一款打击乐音源,录制于巨型废弃粮仓——混凝土墙壁与金属结构在此创造了无与伦比的声学深度。
对巨型金属板、共振楼梯与洞穴般传动轴的实地录音,转化为强大的打击乐音色库,专为预告片配乐、影视作曲与实验性制作而生,
每次敲击都在垂直空间中回荡形成脉冲般的质感,金属衰减、混凝土反射与城市工业时代的幽灵般共振在此交织。

The Story of The Dark Tower
The Dark Tower is a percussive virtual instrument born from an extraordinary acoustic space—a towering grain silo where multi-story concrete chambers create natural reverb unlike any studio.
This decommissioned industrial monument became our recording environment, its weathered metal infrastructure and vast vertical shafts offering a unique sonic palette.
To capture The Dark Tower, we ventured into this hollow silo where several stories resonate into the sky, with the cylindrical concrete chamber creating a natural reverb chamber unlike any studio could replicate.​

The Dark Tower 的故事
暗黑高塔是一款打击乐虚拟乐器,诞生于非凡的声学空间——高耸粮仓中的多层混凝土腔体创造出任何录音棚无法比拟的自然混响。
这座退役的工业纪念碑成为我们的录音环境,其风化的金属结构与巨大的垂直通道提供了独特的声学调色板。
为捕捉 The Dark Tower,我们深入这座空心粮仓——数层空间向天空共振,圆柱形混凝土腔体形成的自然混响室远超任何录音棚的复现能力。
But before we could harvest these hidden industrial tones, we had to find the right sources within the tower itself.
Deep in the structure, we discovered massive sheets of metal, interconnected resonating staircases, ventilation shafts, and random unusual metallic structures,
every piece of the silo’s skeleton becoming a new source for percussive sound.​

但在采集这些隐藏的工业音色之前,我们需在塔内寻找合适的声源。
深入建筑内部,我们发现了巨型金属板、相互共振的楼梯系统、通风井道以及各种非常规金属结构,
粮仓骨架的每个部件都成为打击乐音色的新声源。

The recording process was equal parts archaeological expedition and musical exploration.
The silo’s towering acoustics meant each sound traveled through multiple stories of concrete and metal before capture, creating natural delays and reverbs impossible to replicate artificially.
Every strike became a conversation between performer and architecture.
What emerged was something between industrial percussion and ambient sculpture.
The Dark Tower delivers more than percussion—it’s a focused dark acoustic environment built for modern production.
Ideal for trailer music composers seeking massive impacts, film scorers crafting tension, and electronic producers pushing industrial boundaries.​

录音过程既是考古勘探亦是音乐探索。
粮仓的高耸声学特性意味着每个声音在采集前都穿越了多层混凝土与金属结构,形成无法人工复制的天然延迟与混响。
每次敲击都成为演奏者与建筑的对话。
最终成果介于工业打击乐与环境雕塑之间。
The Dark Tower 不仅提供打击乐——它是为现代制作构建的聚焦暗黑声学环境。
完美契合寻求强烈冲击的预告片作曲家、营造紧张感的影视配乐师以及突破工业边界的电子音乐制作人。
Using MNDALA 2, we brought these sounds to life through its sequencer, live effects, and the use of macros in the X, Y, and Z axes.
We transformed these sounds into musical sources that are perfectly suited for electronic, industrial, and experimental music.
The percussive sounds become synths as we modulate them and shape them with the never-ending possibilities in MNDALA 2.​

通过 MNDALA 2 的步进音序器、实时效果器及 XYZ 三轴宏控制功能,我们赋予这些声音生命。
我们将这些声源转化为完美适配电子、工业与实验性音乐的音乐素材。
随着我们在 MNDALA 2 中以无限可能调制塑形,这些打击乐声蜕变为合成音色。
The Dark Tower is the first installment of our Microfield Recording Series—living instruments that let you step into a place where industry meets artistry, where abandonment breeds creativity.
It’s an interactive virtual instrument that expands your sonic palette with textures rarely accessible outside their architectural source.
What we discovered in that concrete tower surprised us, and we hope it transforms your music too.​

The Dark Tower 是我们 Microfield Recording 系列的首部作品——这些鲜活的乐器让你踏入工业与艺术交融、废弃催生创意的空间。
这是一款交互式虚拟乐器,通过建筑源中罕有的纹理拓展你的声学调色板。
我们在混凝土高塔中的发现令我们惊叹,愿它同样重塑你的音乐创作。
