📌 Description

Step into the dark and cinematic world of sound design with Native Instruments – ASHLIGHT, the final chapter in NI’s granular synthesis trilogy. Developed in collaboration with sound designer Frank Elting and The Solos (creators for Game of Thrones, Mad Max: Fury Road, Predator, and more), ASHLIGHT is built to sculpt immersive atmospheres, pulsing textures, haunting leads, and evolving soundscapes for modern scoring and electronic production.

At its core lies a granular sound engine, loaded with unconventional sources: carbon bows, metal scrapes, ceramics, glass, waterphones, cymbals, feedback loops, synthesizers, and field recordings. Each source can be manipulated, layered, and transformed into evolving cinematic textures.

Whether for film, TV, games, or experimental electronic music, ASHLIGHT delivers the underground intensity, icy soundscapes, and evolving tonal landscapes that push compositions into uncharted sonic territory.
