The Weird Side Samples is a free collection of glitch samples, weird sound effects, and abstract sonic textures produced by Johan Ekelove, aka Introspectral.
The free download link is located at the end of this article.
The Library
This free sample library comprises sounds from Introspectral’s music album, The Weird Side of the Mundane.
The author describes this sound collection as “a sonic exploration through hidden worlds afloat on a metaphysical plane.”
I was blown away when Johan sent me a preview of these samples. It’s an honor to offer the collection as the first Artist Series release on 99Sounds.
The included samples are sorted into six different folders, as described below.
“Atmospheric” contains some of the more ambient elements from this sound library, as the name suggests.
“Vox” contains weird vocals that were morphed and re-synthesized.
“Textures” contains textures, or sonic backdrops, not to be confused with pads or ambient soundscapes, but rather like the texture of a physical surface.
“Movements” contains sounds that, for one reason or another, did not make it into the “Textures” pack. As the folder name suggests, these are sounds based on movement.
“Percussive Elements” is more or less what the name suggests—a set of percussive one-shot samples with elements of glitch and FSU sound processing.
“Tech” is the term used here to describe various “one-shots,” often of a somewhat glitchy character. This is the final piece of the puzzle and also the biggest pack in the collection.
The Artist
Introspectral describes himself as a “sonic connoisseur and explorer of aural dimensions”. Check out his Bandcamp page to hear more music produced by this talented sound designer.
