Featuring delicate and downtempo guitar phrases, Acoustic Dreamscapes delivers a cinematic-style sound. The mood is ambient and chilled but also contains a hint of the unsettling. Supported by electric bass, drums and electric piano, the music perfectly captures the shifting sensations that the imagined reality within dreams can often create.
With 644 loops spread across nearly 4.6 GB of samples, each of the five construction kits provides dedicated intro and outro parts as well as three distinct musical sections. Individual loops are up to 16 bars in length (up to 50 seconds). The kits provide plenty of scope to create full-length musical arrangements. As suits the musical style, slower tempos dominate the kits, spanning 40 (tagged as 80) to 84 BPM.
Each of the main musical parts is based around various phrases played on nylon and steel strung guitars. All guitars in each part are available as two pre-mixed stereo loops: the first version features lighter effects like reverb, the second version features creative processing options such as slowdown, tapestop and other effects. Individual loops for each guitar phrase are also provided in mic'ed and DI versions, allowing you to apply your own choice of effects processing. Electric bass guitar provides a solid foundation to all the musical parts and is provided in three versions; mic'ed, DI and heavily processed with creative effects. The electric piano provides supporting chords and a warm, mellow, tone. Pre-mixed acoustic drum loops are provided in three versions; dry, FX and heavily processed. Single track loops for kick (in and out mics), snare top, snare bottom, hihat, cymbals, toms, overheads and room mics are also included so you can add variety and develop your own drum mix.
Acoustic Dreamscapes could easily provide an ambient and atmospheric element within lounge, chillout or experimental pop. However, it is ideal for media composers looking to add a sense of motion, imagination, melancholy, or slightly dark and mysterious experiences. The library would also complement a number of other Elastik titles including Acoustic Space Fusion, Cinematic Guitar Loops and Space Guitar. If you need a musical soundscape that captures the disorientating sensation of the dream world, Acoustic Dreamscapes is the ideal choice.
