Alien Machine Shop was created with just that idea in mind, designed from scratch to be from another world.

Elements were twisted, bent, scratched, and hammered into tension filled, agitated forms. The results are abnormal, mystifying, discordant and machine-like soundscapes. Jarring to the ear and unfamiliar to the mind. They instantly add unease and intensity to any scene or production.

The 480+ tracks can easily be layered to create limitless bizarre sound possibilities.

Alien Machine Shop is not for the faint of heart.

These dark foreboding atmospheres are a ghostly gossamer of impalpable tension and chilling creepiness. In other words, very unpleasant eerie stuff....

Cosmic Environments is a library designed to fill the void of unusual "hard to put your finger on let alone find" ambiences, atmospheres and sound design elements. Over 450 tracks of standalone angst-ridden weirdness that can also be layered and edited to create even more unheard of trepidation.

The collection is the ideal companion to everything fearful, anxiety-filled, suspicious, phobia-laden, and stressful.

His huge feature film elements for planes, trains, vehicles, weapons, animals, crowds, motors, fights, battles, ghosts and monsters are included. These effects are not only big, but cover every size of creative challenge, giving you lots of details, the great sounds that make films come alive. Many of Howarth’s best sci-fi sound effects like starships, xporters, lasers, planetary elements, disasters, hauntings and laughs have been selected for this collection. This is a great stand alone collection or adds the icing on top to any sound effects library. This collection has never been released before, making this a “must have” for any size production.
